Can you get EDD if you quit?

• The reason you quit your job

• Your current income

• Your overall financial situation

Typically, to qualify for EDD benefits, you need to have lost your job through no fault of your own, which means that if you chose to quit your job, you might not be eligible for EDD unemployment benefits.

However, if you quit your job for a good reason, such as debilitating health issues, an unsafe working environment, or if domestic violence issues at home caused this, then you might be able to receive EDD unemployment benefits.

To be considered for EDD unemployment benefits due to health reasons, you most likely will have to provide medical documentation to back up your claim. You can seek out this documentation through your doctor, and it should clearly illustrate why you had to quit your job due to health reasons.

In certain cases, you might also be asked to prove that you made reasonable efforts with your former employer to address your health problems before you ultimately quit your job. You might need to demonstrate that you requested reasonable accommodations from your former employer due to health issues, but these accommodations were not provided.
