Quitting often makes you ineligible.  They will want to know what you did to try and resolve the problem with your employer.  Unless there is a written agreement, company policy, or such your employer may not be required to give breaks.  If you have only been at this job a short time perhaps you will be approved.  There are other minimum requirements too.  Better call your local office and give all details to find out.
