Yep, my wife argued and won for unemployment after quitting. Ended up being extended for 2 years because of the 2009 crash.
Reason, employer supported her to work from home for 6 months. Then management turnover happened and the new one mandated she return to the office. Since she stayed home the daycare situation had gone to shit and we couldn’t find reasonable care that didn’t cost her entire paycheck. She was forced to quit. Judge ruled it was a creative firing and she got unemployment.
There are even circumstances you can claim unemployment after you quit.
Not many circumstances. But they exist.

Good to know.
I actually knew a guy who negotiated a severance package when he quit.
