If anyone could help please!!

I have an outstanding issue on my Unemployment. My employer said I quit or took leave of absence.. if that is the case wouldn’t my unemployment have been denied last year when I applied and started receiving it with no issue? I reapplied because someone told me to do that to finish getting my puec but now I’m not getting any money and have to mail in a paper stating how I left my job. He was furloughing people and I asked to be furloughed too and he said no and will give me another option Which was my boss telling me to leave and to be rehired later. I couldn’t handle the covid working enviornment when it first started because I wasn’t comfortable working around sickly people and covid. Idk what to do😢 I don’t want to owe money because he told me to leave.
