[Arizona] initial benefits after almost a year of unemployment?

[Arizona] Question

I have maybe a unique situation. I was working remotely for a company in Washington state and was forced to resign or move back to the state about a year ago end of October 2025. I took some time off, but the past few months have been looking /applying to jobs in Arizona. Remote based in Arizona, or hybrid.

Is it possible to apply and be considered for unemployment benefits given the scenario of not being fired/resigning for arizona benefits? This past tax season we filed in Arizona and split Washington (no state income tax in Washington). I ended up paying Arizona like 5-600$ in state taxes.

Thank you for any insights
