    Default I Was Denied Unemployment Benefits Because I Voluntarily Quit My Job

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California

    I volutarily quit my job in Los Angeles to move to Sacramento to help my fiance with the care of her 90 year old mother who suffers with Alzheimer's Disease.

    We have since been married and I after looking for work for months, I still have not found a job.

    I applied for unemployment with the EDD but was denied because I voluntarily quit my job.

    What would help me in my appeal?

    I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but I don't see anything that is going to help you win an appeal. You quit for personal reasons that had nothing to do with your work. Although I understand this was a good reason for you, it is not a reason that the state considers "good cause" for quitting and receiving benefits.

    If you had been married at the time, you MIGHT have had a slight chance, but very, very slight. Without being married, I honestly think your chances of winning on appeal are virtually nil.

    Patty, where can I read the official edd documents on "good cause" online.
