Possibly, but quitting does not automatically qualify you. NJDOL generally requires a compelling reason connected with the job that left you no choice but to leave; you must support that explanation. Intolerable unsafe working conditions may qualify. Separate exceptions may apply to domestic violence or an active-duty spouse or civil union partner's transfer out of state. Leaving for better pay or more hours also has specific rules. NJDOL reviews the facts and decides eligibility. Read its quitting guidance, explain your circumstances accurately when applying, and respond to any examiner interview or questionnaire.
