Here, we will walk you through some of the reasons for unemployment benefit disqualifications. Some of the circumstances that lead to unemployment benefit disqualifications include:. In most cases, you will be disqualified from receiving the unemployment benefits if you quit your job voluntarily or without a good cause. For instance, you might have quit your job because you are not happy with your pay, you want to change careers, or your job is unfulfilling, and you want to try something new.
All of these might be good reasons for you to quit the job and move on, but you will be disqualified from collecting your unemployment insurance benefits. Another common reason for unemployment benefit disqualifications is insufficient earnings and length of employment. To qualify for the benefits, you must earn a minimum amount set by your state in your standard or alternate base period and have worked for your employer for at least one year.

Understanding Unemployment Compensation.
Once you have shown that you have earned enough wages to qualify for benefits, the Employment Department will look at other factors to decide if you are eligible. When you file your claim, a notice may be sent to your employer to verify the reason you are unemployed. If you were laid off because of a lack of work, and you meet all other eligibility requirements, you will most likely be entitled to receive benefits.
However, if you quit your job or were discharged, the Employment Department may investigate further to determine if you might be disqualified from receiving benefits. You will be disqualified, and your unemployment benefits will be denied, if you were discharged for misconduct or if you quit work without good cause.
The following examples are the kinds of things that do not amount to misconduct: isolated instances of poor judgment; good faith errors; unavoidable accidents; absences due to illness or disability; or simply lacking the skills or experience necessary for the job. If you resigned from your job, in order to be eligible to receive benefits, you must show that you had good cause to quit.
Good cause for quitting work generally requires that the reason for leaving be so serious that a reasonable person, exercising ordinary common sense, would have no alternative but to quit work. Some factors that are considered are: why you quit; how bad the problem was; and what you did to try to resolve the problem before leaving.
While each individual situation is unique, some examples of good cause to leave work may include: certain types of unlawful conduct by the employer; unlawful harassment; illness of an immediate family member who requires care if your employer will not allow you the time off ; and moving away due to a change in your spouse or domestic partner's employment.
If the serious situation was caused by your own actions, the Employment Department also will take this into account. Quitting in order to look for another job, to start your own business, or to attend school are not considered good cause. It is also not good cause if you resign in order to avoid being discharged for misconduct. Generally, quitting because of a reduction in pay or hours is not good cause; however, exceptions may apply.
