Unfortunately no, you cannot get unemployment benefits when you transfer to follow a spouse. Unemployment compensation is not available for "voluntary" separations from employment, and for this purpose, leaving a job is "voluntary" if it's your choice to do so--even if you had very good reasons, like a family relocation. Only if the separation from employment was occasioned by something the employer did--e.g. they fired or laid you off; they transfered you to a different location, too far away to work at without having to uproot your family; etc.--can you get unemployment compensation. Your own decision to relocate for your husband's job, however, is not something your employer did, so you can't collect unemployment insurance.
