It never hurts to try. When I was in Seattle, I stopped showing up at my bartending gig because it ran from 12a to 8a and i just kept oversleeping. This was a little 24 hour card room with blackjack and baccarat, etc. and three months into the job they began to stop serving alcohol from 12a to 4a. Since very few ppl come to drink from 4a to 8a I was just making $7 an hour and virtually no tips. Eventually I just stopped setting my alarm clock and two weeks later filed for unemployment. I gave my reason for quitting as unable to mentally and physically meet the challenge of the late night hours or something like that. Anyway they called me back about a week later and said that the casino informed them that I never gave notice of quitting, and they decided to fire me for continous no call no shows. All I could say to the unemployment lady was "ok, I didn't know that. I'm not gonna argue with them." Then she told me how much my benefits were, how to claim online, etc. I was like WTF. Two weeks later, I got my first unemployment check for $225.Perhaps the real WTF is that you managed to get paid for unemployment from companies you quit from in the past.
