Usually you have to have a really good reason to quit your job and unemployment frowns on that - if it is a health issue why don't you get you doctors notes/forms that you will need anyway and go on sick leave or sick benefits.

I California, for example, to receive unemployment you must be able, willing, ready and available to go to work. If you had to quit for health reasons, however, you might be eligible for California's equivalent Worker's Comp, called State Disability Insurance (SDI). You could be eligible for work or even non-work related injury, illness, or pregnancy/childbirth. But you could not claim both unemployment and SDI, there. Other states may have similar programs, but you can check out California's in the Related Link below.

∙ 13y agoYes, but the requirements depend on the state you work in. Health is one of the acceptable reasons for quitting, because it is through no fault of your own, but you may want to see if you qualified for Worker's Comp, which is for work related health purposes. Contact your state's employment security office for clarification.
