So, read through the responses but I had one question to confirm...my husband and I will be relocating in October and I am currently working in California. If I quit due to our move, I can apply for unemployment...even if we move overseas?

Thanks!

I think it depends on the state where you are filing the claim. When we PCS'd to Ft Bliss from Alabama I filed for AL unemployment. I sent in a copy of the PCS orders with the claim. I got a denial letter, so I appealed the case and when I had my appeal session over the phone the lady told me that some states (AL apparently being one of them) do not consider PCS moves a good reason for quitting your job. I appealed it again, just to let them know I dont appreciate it, but I doubt it will get done this time. I worked at my last job for almost 6 years, and would never of left had it not been for our PCS.

I had never thought about filing for unemployment for a PCS, thats exciting news!

I have recently moved to Germany. I arrived in May and have been askin around about unemployment eligiblity. I worked in Illinois up until the final week before I left. HOw can I file if I am indeed eligible??? Please help. I am a brand new military wife and have never filed for unemployment.

hi. You can indeed collect unemployment if you currently are employed in one of the following 9 states. CA is definatly one of them. Please follow this link to read about the military spouse unemployment rules.
