Answer to Rhonda Morris: As far as can be told you have techincally quit which in terms would mean no, but if you have a reason to why you have quit and can prove that was a hostile or other reasonable cause.
Now my question: I have moved back from another state and held a job for a 1 year and half and had to quit the job to move back. Can i stilll apply for unemploy till i find a job?

employee set me up by planting a device/alarm inmy jacket pocket and could not get out of the building for 2 days so I called the police that night, now the DON says I cannot comebackto my 3-11PM shift that I could either resign or go to !st shift. Can I get unemployment due to me being forcedto resign?

My wife works full time for the last 24 years in the same company. Her boss said he might lay her off due to the decrease in business.
I have 2 questions.

1. If she is layed off, can she collect unemployment in the state of New York ?
2. If she moves to another town or state, can she still collect her unemployment ?

Thank you.

i was put on FLMA by the company and then they posted my job and hired someone else when i was still on FLMA. now they say they don’t have any position available for me and they did have a date when i would be back to work with no restrictions. They had me meet with them the day after my FLMA was done. I made 14.00 per hour can i refuse a job offer from them for 10.00 per hour and still be able to get unemployment?

If I was stripped of my supervisorary duties, cut the pay by $160.00 per week and forced to work 12 midnight until 8 am instead of lead day hours 8-4 that I was working. There were no infractions in my file unless put in there real recent, that I did not see no sign or was spoken to about.

After working for an agency for 17 years a new Manager was asigned to my facility. He
wrote me up twice in one month and he was about to write me up a third time. I had been doing the same things for 17 years without being written up for them. If I had been written up for the 3rd time it have permanently been in my file. I feel he was trying to get rid of me so I resigned to keep my name in good standing.

My husband was working for Wayne County Airport authority in Michigan DTW for almost two years. There were some blood issues upon having his physical. The airport hired him. It got to be challenging for him and he left the job. After he quit in 6 months we found out he had Multiple Myaloma and has been undergoing treated for 2 years and treatments are on going every 3 months. He has not been on the job for about 2 1/2 to 3 years. Was he elliglbe for unemployment? Or is he still elligible now?

Thank you

I have been working at my current job for 10 years. There is now a mold issue and i am getting sick everyday. My boss will not correct the problem. If I quit for health reasons (I have pictures of the hiddeous mold growth and a positive at home mold test), can i collect? I do have an allergist for the last 20 years where there is a mold allergy on file.
