I go to college in NYS. I quit my job to keep my grades up. Can i collect unemployment?
I was collecting unemployment because my previous job went out of business. I found another job eventually, but it was becoming an issue with school and not having a car made it even harder. I decided to quit because my school load was becoming intense. So I started collecting unemployment again. I received a letter this week saying that my benefits would stop until I clarify me quitting my job. Is quitting because of school a valid reason? thank you for your time and consideration.
Hi Matthew,
No, not in New York. Please see
1715 on this page.I think the state will find your reason to be personal and non-compelling, but you can research different topics for quitting and see relevant NY decisions
