Based on what I been reading online, it looks like they could have fought it and easily won since I was suspended for 1 week from work this year. But I was terminated for calling out late so it looks like they never mentioned I got suspended and I didn't mention it when unemployment called. Why would a company choose to give free money to former employees who were terminated? I think the person who made this decision was most likely the manager and I got along with him and he seemed like a nice person like always greeting people. HR and the manager called me to tell me I was being terminated. I am sure if I said something stupid on the phone like cursing at them or the company that they would have appealed and filled out all the questions on the form and mention I was suspended this year. What do you guys think?

I know several HR VPs who have told me that sometimes it's just company policy not to contest UI benefits unless it's egregious misconduct. It's not worth the time or money and if they keep turnover low, the impact to the employer tax is minimal.
On the other hand, sometimes smaller companies have more to lose so they fight every UI claim or large companies have massive turnover and are successful at denying claims so they do that instead.
