Can I file for unemployment if I had Resigned from my previous job.

Question

I work in a very stressful environment and at times can be extremely dangerous and over the past 17 years the stress has worn on me.

Answer 1

If you haven't resigned, talk to the employer about more suitable conditions.  See a doctor for advice. If you resign you can apply.  To qualify the unemployment office will decide if you had a compelling reason.  If they agree you did, you can claim benefits.
