I have a question about unemployment benefits. I know that if you resign or quit a position, you are not entitled to benefits. That said, my current situation is as follows:
I am a resident PSM for a small company that I am deeply unhappy with. There are a lot of internal problems and I know it's my time to go. The last show was in March, I did some hourly stuff over the summer for them, and then next show I work on will be November. I am seriously considering resigning this position. Since March I have had 4 other freelance gigs from different theatres, the final one of which I am working on now until the end of October.
SO the question is this: If my resignation with the resident company is effective before my current gig ends, will I be eligible to collect UI benefits? If I'm not mistaken, it's all based on the last job that you had when applying. As long as I'm not going directly from the resignation to unemployment benefits, I should be able to claim them, right?
