I quit my job. Do i qualify for unemployment benefits
My manager has withheld information from me that is needed for me to carry out my duties. This started 3 months ago after she learned I submitted a complaint to Compliance regarding unsafe and unethical practice. I did everything possible for the past 3 months to resolve this issue by asking HR for assistance but have not received any help. I resigned.

No, you would not. Even if you have good reasons for wanting to quit, quitting would still be a voluntary--your choice, that is--separation from employment. When you voluntarily leave your job, you are not eligible for unemployment benefits. When put into an impossible employment situation, where you cannot succeed, you generally need to ride it out and let the employer terminate you if they are dissatisfied with your performance, in order to be eligible for unemployment.
