Unemployment Compensation - I’m having to quit work to care for elderly parent?
Joy H asked:
I heard with the new stimulus bill, that anyone who has to quit work to care for an elderly parent can draw up to 20 weeks unemployment. I know that usually if you voluntarily quit your job you cannot draw unemployment. Not only am I having to quit my job, I’m having to relocate from Virginia to Florida. No regrets though, it’s my mama. Just wondering if anyone else heard about this? 20 weeks of unemployment compensation would be a blessing.
