The Board held claimant’s separation involuntary when her employer required her to decide, months prior to giving birth, that she would need to quit because she believed that she would not be able to afford childcare after giving birth. Though circumstances changed following her prospective notice of resignation such that affording childcare became feasible, these circumstances were neither planned nor reasonably foreseeable when she was forced to make the decision.
