Ohio is an "employment at will" state, so, yes, they can usually "let someone go" for just about any reason. They can also fight her unemployment. However, they may or may not win that fight.

If the UC agency denies her unemployment application, advise her to appeal. She does not need an attorney for that. If she loses the appeal, however, you might want to contact a local attorney that you trust to take any further steps they think are appropriate.

Sorry for your Mom's problems and good luck to you both.
