2. Job Separations
To qualify for benefits, you must be either unemployed or
working reduced hours through no fault of your own, such as a
layoff, a reduction in hours not related to misconduct, or
fired for reasons other than misconduct.
Quitting Your Job
Most people who quit do not receive benefits.
■ If you quit for a good work-related reason, such as
not being paid, you must have proof of that reason,
and that you tried to correct the problem with your
employer before quitting.
■ If you quit for a personal reason, such as staying home with your children
or starting your own business, we cannot pay benefits.
We might be able to pay you if you:
■ Had a medically documented illness that prevented you from working, but
you are now able to work.
■ Quit to move with your spouse. Texas reduces the number of weeks and
benefits you can receive. That reduction does not apply to most military
spouses.
■ Have a documented case of sexual assault, family violence, or stalking.
■ Were fired without work-related misconduct. Examples of misconduct
include, but are not limited to, a violation of company policy; violation of
law; neglect or mismanagement of your position; or failure to perform your
work acceptably if you are capable.
