The answer is usually “no,” but there are eight reasons why you may be able to receive unemployment benefits after quitting. But you must now be able and available to work full-time work and meet all other eligibility requirements.

1. You left work to care for a spouse, child, or parent with an illness or disability and:
   • You can submit medical documentation verifying the illness or disability and need for care
   • Your employer did not offer you paid or unpaid leave for the time needed to provide care
2. You left work because you lost transportation to and from work (other than your own vehicle) AND no other transportation is available.
3. You accepted work while laid off and are recalled to your former job. You left work outside of your regular trade to return to work in your trade.
4. You left work solely because of governmental regulation or statute.
5. You left part-time work to accept full-time work.
6. You left work to protect yourself, a child, spouse, or parent from domestic violence, provided you made efforts to keep your job before quitting.
7. You left your job to follow a spouse required to move while on active duty with the United States Armed Forces.
8. You left your job to follow a spouse who is required to move because of a change in employment, which would result in an impractical commute.
