When you file for unemployment benefits, the gov't will send a letter informing your former employer that a claim has been made against his insurance (that's what unemployment is, it's an insurance program, not a tax. Important distinction).
He has the option to contest it, saying that you were fired for cause. He would only do this to prevent his insurance rates from going up, or if he wanted to be a dick to you.
The government is then caught in the middle of a he-said/monkey-said situation. So they have to investigate. They are going to ask for forms filled out, and statements, depositions, blah blah blah blah. And when you consider that actual $ impact of one layoff on insurance rates, it's FAR more expedient for your former employer to just let it go.
