                        - Voluntary Quit Without Good Cause  - If you  leave either your railroad job or nonrailroad work voluntarily and the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) determines you left without good cause, you will be disqualified for railroad unemployment benefits until you return to railroad work and earn wages sufficient to qualify for benefits again.
                        - Voluntary Quit With Good Cause  - If you leave either railroad or nonrailroad work  voluntarily and the RRB determines you had good cause for doing so, you will be  disqualified from receiving railroad  unemployment benefits for any day that you are qualified to receive State unemployment benefits. If you are not qualified for State  unemployment benefits, you may receive railroad unemployment benefits.
