Quitting and Unemployment Benefits .. The Question Is Always Can You Collect Unemployment When You Quit A Job?

Can you collect unemployment when you quit a job is the most commonly asked question about unemployment. Why is that?

Could it be Americans are miserable with working conditions that expect more for less?



You're welcome to peruse any of the Q&A's on this page, but with this in mind.

I cannot offer permission to quit your job. However, I will tell you that it is not impossible as some would have you believe.

To quit a job and collect unemployment benefits, you must be able to fulfill the legal burden of proof that good cause existed.

But I do try to explain what proof is and possible reasons to quit a job are able to rise to the occasion of an award of benefits. Denial of benefits when quitting can almost always be traced back to three different things in my mind.

• A neglect to create documentation while still an employee to support that good cause to quit existed, even when if you have one of the easiest reasons to quit and get benefits for it.



• The unemployment laws of the state simply do not support the reason for quitting.



• The person was so overly hypersensitive as an employee that a mere rolling of the eyeballs by their supervisor was good enough for them to quit. But, then they ran smack into the objective unemployment process that doesn't care about how we felt at the time we quit.

The following is directly copied and pasted from the Nonmonetary Eligibility Chartbook locate at the US Dept. of Labor/Employment and Training Administration and addresses quitting and unemployment benefits overall.

Good Cause for Voluntarily Leaving—In all states, workers who leave their work voluntarily must have good cause if they are not to be disqualified. In many states, good cause is explicitly restricted to good cause connected with the work, attributable to the employer, or involving fault on the part of the employer. However, in a state where good cause is not explicitly linked to the work, the state may interpret its law to include good personal cause or it may limit it to good cause related to work. Since a state law limiting good cause to the work is more restrictive, it may contain specific exceptions that are not necessary in states recognizing good personal cause. (For example, an explicit provision not disqualifying a person who quits to accompany a spouse to a new job might not be necessary in a state which recognizes good personal cause; it would be necessary in a state restricting good cause to that related to the work.)

Here's some more from Ohio's website.

"There is, of course, not a slide-rule definition of just cause. Essentially, each case must be considered upon its own particular merits. Traditionally, just cause, in the statutory sense, is that which, to an ordinary intelligent person, is a justifiable reason for doing or not doing a particular act. Further, an individual is generally expected to pursue all other available options before deciding to quit employment."

The important take away here is "There is, of course, not a slide-rule definition of just cause. Essentially, each case must be considered upon its own particular merits."

Merits = valid reason + the most persuasive argument and proof you first tried to save your job.
