Yes, you can potentially qualify for unemployment benefits in California even if you quit your job. However, there are certain conditions that must be met in order for you to be eligible for benefits.
In California, you may be able to receive unemployment benefits after quitting your job if you can prove that you had a good reason for leaving. This can include situations such as unsafe working conditions, harassment or discrimination, a significant change in job duties or location, or health reasons.
It's important to note that each case is evaluated on an individual basis, and you will need to provide documentation and evidence to support your reason for quitting. If you simply quit because you didn't like the job or the work environment, you may not be eligible for benefits.
Additionally, if you are able to find another job and work for a certain period of time before becoming unemployed again, those wages can also factor into your eligibility for benefits.
Ultimately, it's best to consult with the California Employment Development Department (EDD) to discuss your specific situation and determine if you can qualify for unemployment benefits after quitting your job. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information.
