Perhaps you didn't read "Giving false answers on an employment application is grounds for termination".
It's unclear who you are addressing your post to, but the issue is the op's friend doesn't know where on his application they feel it was falsified, and he's saying nothing was fabricated.'
If you're going to suggest people didn't read something, at least be sure you've followed the thread.
Many years ago, my friend put on her employment application that she was a college graduate. She did this because she felt that she would not get the job if she told them that she had not graduated. She worked for the company for 20 years and when a new supervisor came in, he decided to do a background check on all of his employees. My friend was fired for lying on her application, even though she did a great job.
If he's filing for unemployment, they'll have to be more specific unless they don't contest it.
Great point! All too often, employees fail to realize that unemployment insurance benefits is both a administrative and administrative judicial process. At some point the employer will need to state and prove that the employee quit without just cause or was terminated for misconduct. If they claim the employee lied on the application, they need to lay out on the table the exact statement that was a lie and their proof that it was a lie. Even then, unemployment may determine it was some BS issue that didn't rise to the level of misconduct (or gross misconduct in some states) and grant benefits to the claimant despite the employer's position.

Oh my! That would be a hard blow after 20 years.
