And you have all the incentive in the world to call bullshit as well.  If 
you're laid off, you're laid off.  No amount of lying on the part of the 
employer is going to change that.  If you've paid in (actually, your 
employer on your behalf) then you're entitled.

If you're being denied benefits for some reason, you need to revisit these 
folks and get it taken care of.  The money is there, and presumably you 
have earned it.
