Probably not. Most states require that your employment be terminated by your employer for reasons beyond your control before you qualify for unemployment compensation. |

No, you have to be terminated! You can not get unemployment if you quit on your own will.
Even though I have seen people do it before, but it is against the law. |

Generally no. But there can be exceptions depending on why you resigned. Go ahead and file for unemployment, but realize that it will probably be turned down. |

It depends where you are from, i know in New Zealand where i am from u can collect it after 12 weeks i think it is but u can also get some help from the goverment. It is not just a straight no answer and not a yes eaither, the best thing to do it to go the goverment or if it is called something in New Zeland it is called WINZ ( Work and Income New Zealand) and ask them how they can help you untill you get another job. If ur job has a good enough reason to leave then they will most likely allow you to have some type of a benifit even if it is a lil bit of money to help you live. Ask who you can and see what they say before you drop ur job it will be eaiser to make a descion if you know what you are entitiled to.
Have also just been reading on www.workandincome.co.nz an it does state that if u leave your job with a good reason u can get it but may have to wait longer to get it normally it is 2-3 weeks for benifits to start but yes it could be longer... GOOD LUCK Missyp |

Check with your state web site to see if you can or not. Most states will either deny benefits or withhold benefits for a certain amount of time. |
