Can an employee receive unemployment benefit in case of resignation?

Your resignation may be legitimate if you have not exhausted all your rights at the from a previous registration as a job seeker.

If you are in the process of being compensated by France Travail at the time of your resignation, payment of your allowance is not suspended in the following 3 cases:

• If you justify less than 65 days (minus 455 hours) worked since you became legally entitled
• If the contract from which you resigned lasted less than 8 calendar days (every day counts, including weekends and public holidays)
• If the contract from which you resigned was less than 17 hours per week.

Before you resign, check that you meet all of these conditions (including checking the working days).

You can estimate your rights to the ARE by consulting the guide of simulators France Travail:
