Can I file for unemployment if I quit my job?

No, you cannot file for unemployment benefits if you voluntarily quit your job. Unemployment benefits are typically available to individuals who are laid off or terminated by their employer without cause. By quitting, you are viewed as leaving the job willingly, which disqualifies you from receiving unemployment assistance. However, there are certain circumstances where quitting may be considered for eligibility, such as if you quit due to unsafe working conditions, harassment, or as a result of your employer's actions that make your job intolerable. It is always advised to consult your local Department of Employment Services or review the specific eligibility criteria to determine if any exceptions apply in your situation.
