Unemployed?? Check your eligibility for unemployment benefits
In quarter one I was unemployed. In quarter two I resigned. in quarter three I got a new job (worked two weeks during the third quarter). In quarter four and five I have been employed. I know I qualify based on earnings. My question is am I eligible for benefits because I resigned from the previous employer during the second quarter?
Lauri,
If you voluntarily resigned from your last job, you might not qualify to receive UI compensation since benefits are only extended to claimants who’ve lost the job due to involuntary reasons.
I was working up at Stein Erikson’s resort in park city Utah. Was living in employee housing signed contract saying I would be out by first week in nov due to all the j 1s coming in from out the country I could not find a place next to impossible. On nov 20th they left a letter saying I was terminated for insubordination for not leavening employee housing the temperature’s outside were in the teens. I had to come home to California so I would not freeze to death. Michael Davies very confused THANK YOU VERY MUCH
If you were fired without any justification, you can qualify for unemployment benefits.
Be ready to provide supporting documentation in case of a dispute.

Justin,
Not sure why you posted this here? Please elaborate or detail your query.
Where is the link to just file a weekly claim? This site has a lot of info but I cannot for the life of me find the link to just file my weekly claim. All kinds of info and pamphlets but not link to just file? Not user friendly, very frustrated.
This is a free public website – we are not part of any unemployment office. Happy to hear you appreciate the information. Here is a link I found by typing “Utah Unemployment file a claim for benefits” in the search box: https://jobs.utah.gov/ui/continuedclaims/UIAccountHome.aspx
