California Forced to Either resign from teaching job or be non re-elected.

I was forced to resign from a teaching job or I would end up being non re-elected. Non re-elect looks bad on a job application, so I resigned because that would put me in a better position for future job offers. Can I collect unemployment?

Hi Diane,

I’ve never heard that term before. Are we talking about a quit in lieu of discharge?

If so, for unemployment purposes, it would be considered a discharge and whether you collect unemployment or not depends on the reason you would have been non re-elected.
