Due to health problems my doctor would not let me return to work so I’m now unemployed. Can I file for unemployment or do you have to be terminated to receive it
In most cases, if you quit your job (even doe to an illness) you are not eligible for unemployment. However, if you left for a good reason such as not being paid, an unsafe or unhealthy work environment, a change in your job responsibilities, discrimination, health and safety risks on the job, or some types of family emergencies you may qualify for unemployment benefits.
