Employment terminated for supposed HIPPA violation. Can I sue for wrongful termination?
2 postings on Facebook page led to allegations of HIPPA violation. I have documents showing I did not violate HIPPA 18 Identifiers or PHI. Ex-employer blocking IDES unemployment pay. Have appealed to BOR and awaiting word. I did have legal council via IDES.
I was employed with a private hospital and have been unable to find gainful employment since my termination. I'm 62 yr old. Living off limited IRA.

You don't say whether you have counsel for your IDES appeal and you are already at the third stage. You don't say whether you worked for a governmental body or a private one. Most Institutional employers and their in house lawyers do not understand HIPAA and overreact to anything they consider a leak.
Your priority should be to find counsel to review your BOR appeal and possibly file an amended one. I have never seen a lay person file an effective BOR appeal.
Next, you need to discuss the details with a skilled employee rights lawyer in your area. I think you are near metro east so use this board to find a good one.
