You have to be fired or laid off to receive unemployment.

You may be eligible for unemployment if you quit your job under certain circumstances: your hours or pay is cut dramatically, a medical condition prevents you from preforming your job duties, you are in a hostile work environment, or in a dangerous/hazardous environment. I would advise you to contact you local unemployment office for further information.

What if you have moved from one state back to another having to quit the job that was currently held in the other state

I am a school teacher. The student in my class has choked, pinched, and kicked me and other students on a daily basis, the child is autistic. I am tired of getting abused. The parent of one of my students had a meeting with the principal and wants to take her child out of the school fear of safety for her child. The abuse not only happens in my class but also during classes when he is with other teachers. Do I qualify for unemployment if I quit?

Hello and thank you for your time, I just have a question can i collect unemployment if the environment at my job is hostile. I’m a Asst. Manager but my District Manager has put me in a 90 days period because he thinks i,m not good as a manager, but since i started working there i never had a problem with any of my associate’s or complains, but every time he comes to the store it’s just a really hostile environment, he is always complaining about something or making you feel bad and comparing you with other people, he makes me really stressful and uncomfortable. What should i do if after does 90 days he wants to demote me, but not fired me?
