Can a State determination be used to support a claim of discrimination?

the state of Florida found that I quit due to intolerable working conditions. They allowed me to receive unemployment benifits. Can this determination be used to support my discrimination claim with the EEOC?

It is not likely that you can directly use the unemployment determination. However, if you had a hear, you may be able to use any testimony that was presented at the hearing if it either contradicts other testimony or statements of the witness or if it is otherwise helpful to your case.
