What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

Hello, thanks for all the advice. I have a question about unemployment insurance. About 4 months ago I left my job in california to go see my girlfriend in Australia and to help her with some personal matters. Now, I am heading back home, and my old company has filled my position. I want to work and willing to work full time. I realize that in california one is usually not able to collect benefits when they have left their job.
Am I able to collect unemployment benefits while I look for another job? What advice do you have for when I talk to the EDD office concerning my circumstances? Specifly, are there any laws or rulings that pertain to my problem.

Quitting to go visit a girlfriend in Australia is not a qualifying reason to receive unemployment no matter how you slice it.
