Hello~ everyone! I need your help!
Not too long ago, I mentioned my employer that I would be leaving the office in the near future due to my pregnancy. I'm only 4 month into pregnancy but all of sudden asked to leave. Their reason was that they do not want me to be too stressed out for my pregnancy. Now I am more stressed out because I have no source of income! Now I'm trying to apply for WA unemployment. Do you this this would be qualified as Voluntary Leave (because I told them I'm leaving) or Laid Off? As far as I know, you do not get unemployment with Voluntary Leave. Sigh... Help! Please!

You are laid off unless you actually told them the date you were leaving. I assume you weren't leaving for 4-5 months. |

You quit. You didn't give them a specific date, just said "in the near future" but that's still a quit. They are not required to let you linger on until whenever. You quit and because you quit, you will not be eligible for unemployment. |
