Can I receive unemployment benefits if I quit my job voluntarily?

No, in general, voluntary quitting of a job does not qualify individuals for unemployment benefits in Arkansas. Unemployment benefits are typically provided to individuals who become unemployed through no fault of their own, such as in cases of layoffs or job termination initiated by the employer. If an employee voluntarily resigns or quits their job without a good cause attributable to the employer, they are considered to have left work voluntarily, making them ineligible for unemployment benefits. However, there are exceptions in certain situations where quitting may be considered justifiable due to compelling circumstances, such as unsafe working conditions or harassment. Despite these exceptions, it is advisable to consult with the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services or refer to the unemployment insurance laws and regulations for more specific guidance.
