Can you quit your job to go to college and collect unemployment?

Answer 1

I don't think so. If you quit you more than likely may not qualify for unemployment benefits. If you are terminated, you maybe able to receive it. As far as school is concerned, you will more than likely be able to still go to school, but you cannot quit a job and go to school and receive unemployment. If you quit, you disqualify yourself from getting unemployment, unless you have a very good reason to quit such as harrassment, or unsafe work place etc,. You can still go to school and receive financial aid which maybe more than what you would receive in unemployment benefits.

Answer 2

It sounds like this should have been an issue discussed before being hired. Unless there is more to your story, it doesn't sound like you are eligible, but check with your state's employment security office for clarification.

Answer 3

yes u can as long as u are going back to school and stay there

The above needs some clarification. Some states allow benefits if you attend certain institutions. Others, if you comply, like everyone else, and qualify to begin with (work history, proper reason for leaving, etc.), AND are ready, willing, able and seeking full time employment constantly, which requirements most students aren't able to comply with.
