No, unless there is a really good reason why you quit (constructive dismissal due to harassment, etc.). Information about unemployment in CA:

Eligibility:

Reason an individual is unemployed
The reason an individual is out of work can affect his/her eligibility for benefits. A person who is laid off is out of work through no fault of his/her own. A person who quits work or is fired from work will be scheduled to a telephone interview because there is a separation issue that must be resolved. The Department interviewer obtains and documents information about the separation from the employer and claimant and decides, according to law and regulations, if the person is eligible to collect benefits. The Department mails a notice to the claimant who is not eligible for benefits. The Department mails a notice to the employer who responded timely to the notice of claim filed. The notice advises the employer about whether the claimant is eligible or not, and whether the employer's account will be charged for benefits paid to the former employee. Either party can disagree with an unfavorable decision and file an appeal.

99% of the time - if you quit - no benefits - and benefits would only be about half your normal pay at best and are taxable for federal taxes |

no not really . what you can do is try to get laid off . but don't get fired. getting fired makes it just as hard as quiting. |

Sometimes you are still eligible even if you quit- you should contact the Unemployment office to ask a few questions first, just to be safe.
