Voluntary Quit VQ 270 – Reason for Decision

Effective January 1, 2006, Assembly Bill 1577 (Chapter 152, Statutes of 2005) renumbered UI Code Section 1256.5 for separations due to the use of Intoxicants (TOX) to 1256.4. Therefore, any separations involving a TOX issue when the last date worked is before January 1, 2006, are to be adjudicated under the former UI Code Section 1256.5. Separations involving a TOX issue when the last date worked is on or after January 1, 2006, are to be adjudicated under UI Code Section 1256.4. No provisions of the law were changed other than the renumbering of the Code Section.

A. No Longer in Use

B. Section 1256.5 Disqualification (use when separation date is before January 1, 2006)

You left your last employment with (employer name) for reasons associated with an uncontrollable use of drugs or alcohol. After considering the available information, the Department finds you do not meet the legal requirements for payment of benefits under Section 1256.5

C. Section 1256.5 Disqualification-Section 1256 Eligible-Able to Purge TOX Disqualification (use when separation date is before January 1, 2006)

You left your last job with (employer name) because of behavior related to the uncontrollable use of drugs or alcohol. Leaving a job for that reason is disqualifying under Section 1256.5. However, because you had already met the conditions required for lifting the disqualification at the time you filed your claim, this disqualification had ended.

D. Section 1256.4 Disqualification (use when separation date is on or after January 1, 2006)

You left your last employment with (employer name) for reasons associated with an uncontrollable use of drugs or alcohol. After considering the available information, the Department finds you do not meet the legal requirements for payment of benefits under Section 1256.4.

E. Section 1256.4 Disqualification-Section 1256 Eligible-Able to Purge TOX Disqualification (use when separation date is on or after January 1, 2006)

You left your last job with (employer name) because of behavior related to the uncontrollable use of drugs or alcohol. Leaving a job for that reason is disqualifying under Section 1256.4. However, because you had already met the conditions required for lifting the disqualification at the time you filed your claim, this disqualification had ended.

AA. Section 1256 Eligible-Section 1256.5 Disqualification (use when separation date is before January 1, 2006)
