Only if you can prove that it was a hostile or dangerous work environment. The key word is PROVE. Otherwise you do not get compensated by the taxpayers for volunteering to become unemployed.

No. You need to have lost your job due to no fault of your own.

Altima1

You do not collect unemployment benefits in any state. If you leave for medical reasons that can fall under the Medical Leave Act but you cannot collect anything.

Brittles

No. You only qualify for benefits if you were let go through no fault of your own. So basically, laid off.

Doctor Deth

you don't get that in ANY state

No, if you quit or are fired, you are not eligible for Unemployment.

I think if you quit because of medical reasons like a sickness or pregnancy you can.
