I have been getting unemployment for a few months.I took a job this week and want to quit.Can I keep benefits?

Question

This job isn't working out. Will I lose my benefits now that I started this other job? It is a job I don't have experience in and I don't like it.

HELP!!!!

Answer 1

No. You can only get unemployment if it was involuntary and not for cause (not your fault). You can't get unemployment if you quit a job. It does not matter that you were previously fired. Only your last job counts.

Answer 2

No, if you aren't working the job, you don't get the benefits.

Answer 3

If you quit, you lose your benefits. But, if you get fired, you keep your benefits.

Answer 4

Probably not, if you quit - yes if you get laid off from this job.
