[quote=Anonymous]OP, just take the call and tell the truth. I'd be surprised if they approve the claim based on the info you've provided, but that's the state's job to sort out.

I actually looked into this for a similar situation when I left my last job (MB here). I'd been PT since my first child was born and made a formal request to go back to FT, which my company declined, so I resigned, because I needed a FT position. So while it was a voluntary departure, they had refused to offer me my FT position back following my first child's birth, and I wasn't sure that was technically legal. (It's in a gray area, as I learned, because so much time had passed--I could have challenged it immediately after leave but waited too long.) But I wasn't eligible for unemployment in that situation, either, because I had left of my own volition. Seems like that's basically the situation here, although it sounds like your nanny was never FT to begin with, which changes it a bit. (She'd be entitled to go back FT after leave if she had been FT before leave, but it sounds like she was not.)

At any rate, in our state the department that handles unemployment benefits assesses the individual circumstances and determines when a claim is warranted. Just let them do their job and you'll be fine.[/quote]
