My job caused me to have a near breakdown emotional and physically and so I quit can I claim unemployment

Question

My doctor has it on his records that the job was making me sick and he even told me I need to shange jobs.

Answer 1

Quitting usually disqualifies you from unemployment. Perhaps the underlying reasons of your stress will be sufficient to qualify you though. I would call unemployment, give them the details, chances may be slim but there is no penalty for enquiring. Get another job as fast as possible.
