I claimed UI in California for about a month after being laid off. I then started a new job. I've been there almost 2 weeks. Would I be eligible to resume receiving UI if I left the new job? Does it matter if I quit vs the new employer lets me go? Please advise. Thank you!
Yes, it does matter if you quit or not. Generally, be it 2 weeks or 20 years, the reason for no longer working always must be evaluated on its own to receive benefits. If you are terminated or you quit, EDD will look at why and if the reason is a disqualification from receiving further benefits on this claim.
So, what's going on why you think you may end up unemployed? Based on the short reemployed time, depending on why, you may be able to resume getting benefits. But you have to provide some details to us to get better advise.
Rabrrita, thanks. I have a problem with dinner of the things the new company is doing. I'm in sales and don't agree with some of the sales tactics they require us to use. It's an ethics issue for me. So, can you explain what would need to happen in order for me to be eligible to resume receiving unemployment insurance payments while I look for a better fit?
They have to be breaking the law. Further, you need to write the company, explain your issues, if company doesn't correct things, you quit. From your description - unless they are in direct violation of the law - you won't get benefits if you quit. Just writing the letter may be enough for them to terminate you. If so, consider yourself lucky. Otherwise, if you quit - no benefits.
Just writing the letter may be enough for them to terminate you.
I want to emphasize how great an idea this is. You can be highly critical of the employer, and you can even report them to government agencies if you think they'll care, or go to the media.
If handled correctly, you can be fired for a nondisqualifying reason. Complaining is not misconduct.
