Most US states will not pay if you "QUIT A JOB' and resigning means just that You quit .
Unemployment benefits are paid if the company goes broke, or they lay you off for a period of time due to a lack of work, such as in seasonal work, or the position was eliminated (downsized).
You may be eligible if you quit due to harassment, or poor treatment at your work place.
Another opinion:If, in fact, you were "forced to resign", it implies you left the job through no FAULT of your own and not voluntary (if the forcing was not for justifiable reasons). The state's employment security investigator sorts through the facts and, if you were innocent, you'd be eligible for the benefits.Wiki User

∙ 9y agoIt is possible to get unemployment benefits if you have been forced to retire. However you must have been officially laid off. If you are fully retired you cannot collect unemployment. In order to collect unemployment you must be ready, willing and able to actively seek a another job.

∙ 12y ago"Forced to quit" is legally called constructive discharge. Like every discharge, it can disqualify you from UI if the quit or discharge was prompted by your misconduct.
It depends on whether the reason you resigned was through no fault of your own.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoDepending on your state, yes you can. If the termination was involuntary and is through no fault of your own, then it would be considered the same as being laid off.

∙ 12y agoYes, if you can show the state you lost your job through no fault of your own, you would be eligible for benefits.

Can employer fire you while you are out on medical leave having surgery and can that employer then tell unemployment that you quit so you cannot collect unemployment compensation?
If you are employed "at-will," which most people who work without employment contracts are, then yes, your employer can fire you at any time, for any reason. Your only recourse, aside from unemployment benefits, would be a possibility of lawsuit if your employer wrongfully terminated you, such as on the basis of disability discrimination.The employer "can" also tell the unemployment insurance office that you quit. It is in their best financial interest to prevent you from successfully claiming unemployment benefits, and in a hostile situation such as this, the employer will often lie and distort facts in order to make it appear that you either quit voluntarily, or were fired for misconduct--in other words, for something that was your fault, not theirs.However, if you did not quit, you can fight their denial and still get unemployment benefits. You'll need to gather all documentation regarding your medical leave, as well as educate yourself about your employer's claim (Why did they say you quit? What is their evidence?) and your best arguments against it. Employers in general don't have great track records winning against employees in unemployment claims when it comes to medical issues...and they are probably hoping that you won't know how to fight it, and will just give up.
