Unemployment insurance benefits are available for workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Eligibility requirements for collecting unemployment compensation vary from state to state. So, it always makes sense to check eligibility with your State Unemployment Office if you are not sure whether you qualify for unemployment benefits.

The unemployment compensation you will receive will depend upon the amount you earned while working. In addition, there are eligibilty requirements to qualify for unemployment benefits including working a certain number of weeks. If, for some reason, you are determined not to be eligible for unemployment benefits there is an appeals process available where you can challenge the determination.
