My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Alabama
I was offered to resign or be terminated in my job of 8 years for stealing. Of course I resigned because it was better for me for future employment. No legal action has been taken as of yet and I dont know if it will or not. I was allowed to just admit what I had done and go home after I resigned. Please know I am terribly sorry for what I have done and it has changed my life yet changed me for the better. I only did it to feed my family in a terrible time and it has plagued me so much I will NEVER take anything thats not mine again. My question is....do I still qualify in the state of Alabama for unemployment benefits even though I resigned? And does my reason for resigning (stealing) make a difference in my qualification for benefits? Thanks for your time.
