Determine if the there was good cause when an EU member:
voluntarily quit employment
reduced work hours below 30 hours/week or earnings below 30 hours per week times the federal minimum wage, or
refused an offer of suitable employment
Consider all reported facts and individual circumstances when making this determination.
Reasons for Good Cause include, but are not limited to:
Job did not meet suitable employment criteria
A person resigns at the demand of the employer
Discrimination by an employer based on age, race, sex, color, handicap, religious beliefs, national origin or political beliefs
Unreasonable work demands or conditions made continued employment unreasonable. For example, working without being paid on schedule
Acceptance of other employment at a wage equivalent to working 30 hours/week at federal minimum wage
Reduced work hours under 30 hours/week, but wage earned is equivalent to working 30 hrs/week, at federal minimum wage, or above
Enrolled at least half-time in any recognized school, training program or institution of higher education
Changes in the household impacted access to current employment. For example, the Food Stamp EU moved to another community because a member accepted a new job or enrolled at least half-time in a recognized school, training program, or institution of higher education.
Quit a job or reduced hours due to personal health reasons or health reasons of others
Resignation of someone under age 60, which the employer recognizes as retirement
Quit in the context of the natural pattern of employment, such as migrant or construction labor
Hours of employment were reduced because of demands of the employer and the employer remains the same
Quit unsubsidized employment to join a volunteer program, such as VISTA, AMERICORPS, etc.
Unavailability of transportation
Inadequate child care for children under age 12
Self employment ended
Other circumstances where the agency determines there is good cause
