good cause

Means an acceptable excuse for failing to file or take other required action timely. Good cause does not include a person�s own carelessness, negligence, or inattention to the filing or other requirements.



To show "good cause" for leaving a job a claimant must prove that they left work primarily because of a work-connected factor, that the work-connected factor was so compelling as to cause a reasonably prudent person to terminate employment, and that they first exhausted reasonable alternatives which might have preserved employment prior to quitting, unless it would have been futile to do so.
