transferred to new jobs or offices within the same large company. At each
relocation, I went back to work. Sometimes it was a 6-month stay.
Sometimes a year. Sometimes several years. The sad part, tho, is that I
only learned about the UI availability after our last transfer/relocation.
I never got to use the benefit..."
Yes and no. It depends on the state law where your previous employer is
located and whether or not they (your previous employer) agree that you left
with just cause. If your previous employer denies your claim, you have to
appeal, which means you may or may not get it. If you are denied your claim,
sometimes you can still get it if you earn a certain amount in wages over a
set period of time. Always check the UI rules....
