Can you claim unemployment if your spouse is relocated forcing you to resign from your position';?

I live in TX and my husband was relocated and i'm being forced to resign b/c I can't make the long drive.


And I don't get home until very late.


I've been told that I MAY be able to claim unemployment until I find a new position. Does anyone know if this is correct?Can you claim unemployment if your spouse is relocated forcing you to resign from your position';?
In California that would work. Your ';new'; commute may be cutting it close.Can you claim unemployment if your spouse is relocated forcing you to resign from your position';?
Generally you must be terminated by your employer for no fault of your own (no misconduct). If you quit, you are not eligible.





Since so many people commute two hours or more each way to a job, a ';long drive'; is a highly debatable proposition, so do not count on that being any sort of excuse for quitting. A 2-hr drive (each way) certainly is not persuasive.





Also note that to deduct moving expenses on your federal tax return, there's a 50 mile difference restriction regarding home-to-work distance before you are eligible to deduct moving costs. So you will have to check that out carefully when you do your taxes. Follow the directions %26amp; calculations in the IRS bulletin very carefully! So how far away is hubby's new job, and what is the old mileage from old home to your old job vs new home to your old job?
No. You can only claim if you are fired, not for cause, or if the company moved your place of employment too far for you to be able to commute to. Because YOU are moving, you will not be able to claim unemployment.
you can always apply for unemployment, whether you get it or not is the question


however, your situation generally is accepted as reasonable
