Should I apply for unemployment?

[Anonymous]

i quit my job two weeks ago i have a good amount of money saved up
but i'm thinking of applying for unemployment.

i think my boss was mad at was when i put in my two weeks notice but i stayed for a month to help her out.

i know unemployment calls the jobs. i dont want her to tell unemployment. how much money i have saved up. she might do it if she is still mad at me for leaving.

Well, it's true that in most cases, benefits are only available if you were laid off or terminated, but there are some exceptions. For example, if you quit for a valid reason like a hostile work environment or major changes to your job duties without your agreement, you may still be eligible. To find out, you might want to consider speaking with a legal or financial professional.

And dw about your savings affecting your eligibility for benefits - that shouldn't be a problem. However, just be aware that the unemployment office may need to contact your employer to confirm your employment and the reason for your departure from the job - which might be a problem because you quit and weren't fired.

I personally wouldn’t and never have. I think collecting unemployment is in masculine and lazy, I’d rather work a shit job in the meantime or immediately jump to a new job.

That’s just me, I have a a bit an ego and I don’t do certain things that conflict with my morals such as handouts.

If you don’t have a problem with that than do it

Do it, now. However, they may not give it to you. Keep in mind that when you apply for Unemployment Insurance (UI), your initial eligibility for benefits is based on your earnings and your reason for leaving your job.

If you quit your job, you're usually not eligible for unemployment.

Usually if you quit your job you cannot collect.

You can only collect if you were terminated from your employment
