Delaware Domestic Violence Crisis And Support Resources

Delaware Unemployment Insurance Law Protects Victims of Domestic Violence.
Delaware Law Title 19, Chapter 33, Sub. 3314: includes leaving employment to protect yourself or family from domestic violence among good cause. Leaving work must result from: (i) reasonable fear of future domestic violence at or en route to or from work; or (ii) the need to relocate to another geographic area in order to avoid future domestic violence; or (iii) any other circumstance in which domestic violence causes you to reasonably believe that leaving work is necessary for your future safety. You'll need to provide documentation of domestic violence, such as a police or court record, or statement from a shelter worker, attorney, member of the clergy or medical or other professional from whom you sought assistance in addressing domestic violence and its effects.
