Yes. You will need to give your employer a letter of resignation stating this is your reason for leaving, additionally you should state in this letter that it is for a higher paying position. Giving your employer notice is important as it will help with winning your claim.

Some states allow this as reasonable, so check with the state's office you worked in for clarification.

Most, if not all states allow a person to voluntarily quit a job and still be eligible for unemployment if the right set of circumstances are present, including having to relocate with a spouse. Check with your own states for the particulars where you work.

Can you claim unemployment benefit after you marry if your spouse is employed?

Whether or not your spouse is employed (or, indeed, whether or not you have a spouse) has no bearing on unemployment benefits in any location I'm familiar with. If you lost your job in a way that would allow you to collect unemployment, then you can collect unemployment. If you didn't, then you can't. It's pretty much that simple.

First, some states allow you to collect unemployment if you have to move because your spouse relocates, in which case it would be from the state you moved FROM (the "liable state"). Secondly, you could not collect from the state you move to because that state did not collect unemployment taxes from your former employer (hence, not the "liable state")
