Unemployment After Quitting in Kansas

If you quit without good cause, you are disqualified until you are reemployed and have earned at least 3 times your weekly benefit amount. Good cause means a serious reason that would compel a reasonable person to quit, acting in good faith. You are not disqualified for quitting because of illness or injury on a provider's advice (with notice and an offer to return), hazardous working conditions, harassment the employer knew about, being told to break a law, a substantial violation of the work agreement, a military spouse's transfer, domestic violence, a personal emergency after reasonable efforts to keep the job, approved trade-act training, or to take better work.

You must appeal an examiner's determination within 16 calendar days after it was mailed to your last known address (or delivered, if not mailed); the appeal is heard by a referee. A referee's decision can be appealed to the Employment Security Board of Review within 16 calendar days. Deadlines may be extended for excusable neglect.
