[Massachusetts] on medical leave, will likely quit my job due to health issue and wondering how I return or resign may impact unemployment eligibility
I have been on PFML medical leave for a serious health condition since July and expect to use up my 20 weeks in December.
Because of my recovery, I may resign when I return; from what I understand, I might qualify for unemployment after resigning due to a serious health condition. Is that correct?
I would also like to offer my employer one to two weeks of remote work for critical transition support. I truly appreciate the work, and this situation is unfortunate. That said, would I lose unemployment eligibility if I return briefly and resign two weeks later, assuming they accept that timeline?
Edit: I hope to be able and available for full time work after recovery, which would ideally be in January, it’s the job I’m at specifically which is mostly in person that I cannot currently perform and also exacerbated the condition. I would hope to find less strenuous and ideally remote work. Would I still be eligible?
