Revised 6-1-10
Upon determination the head of household voluntarily quit his or her employment, the worker considers the facts and circumstances. The worker uses information submitted by the principal wage earner and the employer to determine if the voluntary quit is with good cause. Good cause for leaving employment includes:
- (1) discrimination by an employer based on age, race, sex, color, disability, religious beliefs, national origin, or political beliefs;
- (2) work demands or conditions which render continued employment unreasonable, such as working without being paid on schedule;
- (3) acceptance by the head of household of other employment, or enrollment at least half-time in any recognized school, training program, or institution of higher education, requiring the head of household to leave employment;
- (4) acceptance by any other household member of other employment or enrollment at least half-time in any recognized school, training program, or institution of higher education in another county or area requiring the household to move and thereby requiring the head of household to leave employment;
- (5) resignations by persons under the age of 60 which are recognized by the employer as retirement;
- (6) employment which becomes unsuitable after the acceptance of such employment because it no longer meets the criteria of suitable employment as specified at OAC 340:50-5-88(8);
- (7) leaving employment after accepting a bona fide offer of employment of more than 20 hours a week or in which the weekly earnings are equivalent to the federal minimum wage multiplied by 20 hours because the agreed upon work hours or weekly earnings do not materialize;
- (8) leaving a job in connection with patterns of employment in which workers frequently move from one employer to another such as migrant farm labor or construction work. There may be some circumstances where households will apply for food benefits between jobs, particularly in cases where work may not yet be available at the new site. Even though employment at the new site has not actually begun, the quitting of the previous employment is considered with good cause if it is part of the pattern of that type of employment; or
- (9) circumstances beyond the person's control, such as but not limited to:
- (A) illness;
- (B) illness of another household member sufficiently serious to require the presence of the registrant;
- (C) unavailability of transportation;
- (D) lack of adequate child care for children who have reached age six but are under age 12; or
- (E) an unanticipated emergency.
