CompFox AI Summary
Mr. William Frogge resigned from the Memphis Housing Authority (MHA) due to unconfirmed rumors of impending termination and a belief he would lose accumulated benefits. The Tennessee Department of Employment Security (TDES) initially denied his unemployment benefits, a decision upheld by the Appeals Tribunal and Board of Review. The Shelby County Chancery Court reversed this, finding Frogge had good cause. MHA and TDES appealed. The Tennessee Court of Appeals, however, determined that Frogge's decision to quit was based purely on speculation, not substantial evidence, and thus he lacked good cause connected to his work under T.C.A § 50-7-303(a)(l). Consequently, the Court of Appeals reversed the chancellor's decision and affirmed the TDES's original denial of benefits.
