Can I get New York Unemployment after quitting to be a stay at home parent?

Depends on how you document everything. You need to prove it was a necessity not just a choice. Did you try to work something out with your employer first? Like FMLA or modified schedule? They look at all that stuff when reviewing your claim.

Hey, I was stuck trying to reach unemployment about a similar situation. I found this site claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Listen up - here's the deal with quitting for caregiving in NY: - You MUST prove it was a compelling family responsibility - Need documentation of your partner's condition - Should show you had no reasonable alternatives - Being a primary caregiver can qualify as good cause - Looking for work is essential - keep detailed records - October quit date is fine, but file ASAP Best bet is to talk directly to an agent. Use claimyr.com to get through - way better than trying to call yourself. They'll review your specific situation and tell you if you qualify. Keep ALL documentation showing why this was necessary. Medical records, attempts to find alternative care, everything. The more proof the better.

I tried something similar and got denied... they said I should have explored all other options first 🤮

ur gonna need mad documentation fam. they dont make it easy fr fr 💯

The system is so broken rn... good luck even getting someone on the phone to explain your situation properly
