ABC11 reached out to the North Carolina Division of Employment Security Commission (DES) on how it is handling claims involving the COVID-19 vaccine and received the following response:

"People who are fired or quit their jobs because they refuse to follow their employer's vaccine requirement should not expect to receive unemployment benefits. Every claim is different, and the Division of Employment Security determines eligibility on a case-by-case basis by considering the facts and circumstances of the claim."
