Am I eligible for unemployment benefits?

Am I eligible for unemployment benefits?

  • I am putting a 2 week notice in because it is just to overwhelming where I work... The workload has like doubled from when I first started this job 4 years ago! I also spend a lot of time driving around running errands and that alone puts a lot of wear and tear in my vehicle.. and yes they pay me .35 cents a mile but I don't get a vehicle allowance... My question is If I quit, would I be eligible for unemployment benefits? I just can't keep up at this job anymore also I never got a written job discription ...PLEASE HELP ME I WOULD NEED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS UNTIL I CAN FIND SOMETHING ELSE..

  • Answer:

    If you voluntarily leave your job simply because you find it overwhelming you almost definitely would not qualify for unemployment benefits. Generally, unemployment benefits are reserved for those who have lost their jobs (not left them) through no fault of their own.

No you wouldn't be eligible for unemployment. Look for another job first, then quit once you find one.

You quitting your job when it is still available to you. You chances of collection the UI benefits are going to be very slim. To get the correct information you would need to contact your state UI office. Unemployment Offices Links to official, Federal and state unemployment office Web sites are listed below. State Unemployment Office As indicated above, the unemployment office Web site for the state in which you work is the place to file a claim for standard, extended or disaster unemployment benefits, if it has online facilities for such. Many do; but, regardless of whether or not they have online claim-filing facilities, state unemployment office Web sites provide instructions or contact information for filing claims by other means. State unemployment office Web sites are also good places to research state-specific unemployment benefits, eligibility requirements, appeals, laws and employer taxes.

No, you would not be eligible for unemployment. It would be against the law to receive both a mileage reimbursement and vehicle allowance. I would rather have the mileage reimbursement because of the tax consequences of the vehical allowance. You can ask your company if they can increase the rate to 50-cents per mile which is the current IRS accepted rate. I hope your workload has greatly increased in the past 4 years. If you weren't advancing you would have been out the door a long time ago.
