| how can I get unemployment benefits if I am fired (for lateness) from a job I've had 5 years? |

If a former employer charges that you were discharged because of misconduct, you can request a hearing. There are non-profit orgs that will help contest a misconduct claim.
There is also information on the NYDOL site which shows that your can remove a disqualification for misconduct by subquently working and earning more than 5 times your benefit rate |

What organizations can help you contest a misconduct claim? Ok, maybe the Legal Aid society.
But I work for the NYS DOL (and CWE --its complicated!) and have never heard of any for the 2 years I have worked at the Queens One-Stop.
Some employers try to really take advantage of people and file frivilous claims of misconduct.
This information we certainly help me help some of these people
