<prompt> Human: Throwaway because Im not sure if this is legal or not. I want to quit my job. I hate my boss, the work, and the schedule. The problem is I am a writer living in NYC, and there is not much part-time work that would support me fully. I would like to draw unemployment insurance while I figure out what to do with my life, and give myself some room to write my own material. I know that unemployment only covers those who lost their jobs due to no fault of their own. How does this system work, really? I assume it wouldnt cover me if I quit--or would it, considering that the job isnt a good fit for me? The job pays 50K a year, so it would also be nice to know how much I might receive in benefits. Do I pay tax on the money I receive? What about the money Ive already deducted from my paychecks to pay taxes?Any information would be helpful. Thank you.  <response>: This isnt what unemployment is for. Its for workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own - it even says this on the NY state unemployment website.Work and figure it out while working like the rest of the adult world.
