New Hampshire has amended the regulations under its Unemployment Compensation Law as follows:
Domestic violence. An individual is not disqualified from receiving benefits where he or she reasonably believes that separation from employment is necessary to protect the individual or any member of his or her immediate family from domestic abuse. The Department will verify the existence of domestic abuse through reasonable documentation and will keep the information confidential.
Other disqualifications. Other circumstances that will not disqualify an individual from receiving benefits include pregnancy or an illness or injury that is not work-related, provided that a physician has attested to the individual’s inability to perform work duties in a written notice; leaving employment to allow the individual to accompany his or her spouse to a place from which it is impractical for the individual to commute due to the change in location of the spouse’s employment; or leaving employment because of the illness or disability of a member of the individual’s immediate family.
