Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Unemployment Insurance with Settlement and Mutual Resignation?
Will I be eligible to collect Unemployment Insurance in California if I left my employer as part of the terms of a settlement aggreement resulting from a legal dispute that I filed. There was also $$ in the settlement. Will that disqualify me?

Your settlement probably included a "1542 waiver" If so and if unemployment benefits not specifically allowed under agreement, you probably cannot file. Call to discuss 800-685-6950

Typically, settlement agreements spell out what happens with unemployment compensation -- i.e. the employer will not contest unemployment compensation claims. If your agreement did not discuss it, you probably will not be able to make a claim since you probably settled any and all claims against the employer, known and unknown. Check the agreement. Have a lawyer review it if you still are unsure. Good luck! -Robert F. Cohen, Esq.
