Isn't this unemployment insurance, if approved in this circumstance, only for the weeks of notice that were given that the claimant was not allowed to work?
Not in CA. California refuses to do two adjudications on a separation. They adjudicate at the time of the separation, and won't go forward and say, "since you were going to quit in two weeks, come two weeks in the future, you will be denied benefits for a quit without good cause."

When claimants know this, and know the employer loves to fire people before their noticed is served, then it's a good way to use as a last ditch effort to get UI when you have nothing else. Surprisingly, a lot of employers don't know this because quits get turned into discharges a fair amount. Not only that, they don't follow CA's pay rule to pay on the day they fire, and then get hit with DLSE wage claims.

NY is a state that says it only allows UI through the date of the resignation, but there was an internet thread where someone avoided that. He was cautioned to shut up about the resignation, and see what happens, and only focus on that date he was fired. He succeeded.

The issue isn't about the quit and being walked out. The more likely scenario is that the quitter thinks he's found his dream job, and doesn't make it long enough to purge the earlier quit. Then because he didn't write a correct letter of resignation, then he loses his UI when he desperately needs it. Another is when the claimant quits and the new employer pushes back the start date, or like what happened to someone I know, "I'm sorry Chris. Two people named Chris applied for the job, and I know I called you, but you weren't the right one. I feel really bad about that. I hope everything works out for you." Well, it didn't.

Don't say you quit to take care of a sick relative with able and available issue it raises when you can quit the job to take a new job that was so good that you'd be an idiot not to take it, and be able to prove it in case things go sour.

Commentator, it's all right here. You don't have to guess. https://www.edd.ca.gov/UIBDG/ If that doesn't have what you're looking for, then you can look here https://www.cuiab.ca.gov/Board/prece...ions/index.asp CA has a wealth of information for CA quitters to greatly improve their chances of getting UI.
