I heard that if you gave sufficiant notice and quit your job you can still apply for unemployment. Also, I heard you could apply online, I can't find anything about it. Does anyone know anything about this??

The exact senario is that my boyfreind moved from Michigan to Illinois. He quit his job in Michigan to move to Illinois. I heard there was a loophole.

As you didn't mention what state you are located in, this is tough to answer with 100% certainty. But I will answer based on the unemployment laws of Pennsylvania with which I am familiar.
In PA, you could not collect unemployment under this scenario. Voluntarily leaving a job disqualifies you from collecting unemployment. If you were laid off (i.e. - the reason for dismissal was "lack of work"...the legal term for being laid off in PA), you could collect. Also, if you were fired without cause (which is legal in PA since PA is an "employment-at-will state) you would be eligible to collect.
Some states do allow you to apply for unemployment online (or at least report your status once you qualify), but again, I'm not sure what state you are in.

If you were fired other than for misconduct, or if you were laid off, you can probably collect unemployment. If you quit voluntarily, then no you can't, no matter how much notice you gave. There can be exceptions if you can show a valid reason for quitting - the state unemployment people would decide whether your reason was valid. Just not being happy with the job wouldn't qualify.

Unemployment is generally for people who are out of work "Through no fault of their own." You, by quitting, caused yourself to be out of work. No dice on unemployment then.

hahahahahaha - thanks for the laugh.
If you quit, you quit and don't qualify for unemployment.
If you're fired they can refuse to pay unemployment and you need to go to court to prove you get it.
If you're laid off then you should get unemployment.
You should be able to apply on-line but you need to go to your state's website and find the link through there.

NO, you can't. YOU HAVE TO BE FIRED FIRST. if you QUIT, that's your fault not theirs.
