    Default Getting Unemployment After Divorce, Quitting Job and Moving

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Georgia. I am going through a divorce. I will be moving to Oregon next year. I will need to quit my job before I move. Even if I did not move I would not be able to keep working where I am due to the long hours, 12 hours away from home a day, and I am now a single mother of an 8 year old child. My husband was gone for the last year in Afghanistan and I missed a lot of work due to my long hours, child, house, dogs, and just trying to maintain everything I literally made myself sick. Is there any way I can draw unemployment if I quit?

    If you choose to quit your job, you should expect that you will not receive unemployment benefits.

    If you quit, you may be eligible to draw benefits if you can show that you quit for good work-connected reason(s). Examples of good work-connected reasons are material change in working conditions, material change in working agreement, nonpayment for work, and similar reasons. You will not be able to draw benefits if your reason for quitting was personal even though the personal reason was a good or compelling one
