Can you collect unemployment for quitting a job in Florida for husbands job relocation which was in another part of Florida 7 hours away?

Answer 1

Generally yes you would be eligible. You would file for unemployment & cite this reason. The unemployment office will schedule you for an adjudication interview in which time you will provide them with transfer documentation or new hire documents which state your husbands job offer information. The date in which you moved has to be proximate to the date your husband started his new job. For example, if you furnish documentation that states your husband was offered his job May of last year & you just now moved, this will raise a red flag. The other piece of information that the unemployment office will evaluate is the reason you provided to your employer for quitting. They will contact the employer & if the employer provides a written statement from you giving 2 weeks notice so you can further your education in school, that will not go over well. However, if you stated you quit to relocate due to your husbands job & you can get the documentation from your husband, then you should be approved with no problems providing that you are otherwise eligible.
