If you quit you are not eligible for unemployment.

Let's be careful about this. It depends on the reason you quit. If you were being harassed and the company did nothing about it, or you had unsafe working conditions, etc, you can still collect.

It's better to say that if you quit for reasons that have nothing to do with the employer, you cannot collect unemployment.

I had a co-worker who quit because the raise he was promised (in writing) at hiring time never materialized. The company had to pay unemployment while he looked for work.



Good point. Thanks for the meta-clarification.
