For example, if you were fired for failing to perform your job duties or willfully violating company policies of which you were aware, you might not be eligible for benefits. If you quit your job , you won't be eligible for unemployment benefits unless you had just cause to leave your job.
In general, just cause means that you had a compelling, job-related reason for leaving the position and a reasonably careful person would have done the same in your circumstances.
