If you are fired,quit(for good reason ie.harassment) or layed off(lack of work) you can draw unemployment compensation if you have worked steadily and have money in the quarter they are using to determine your benefits.If the company cannot prove willful misconduct then you can draw.You may have to file a couple of appeals but you will still get all your money in  a lump sum if you win.Willful means intentional.Been there done that.

it varies from state to state. in NJ, you can get a work search waiver if you are training for a demand occupation. the idea is that you will be trained in a good field and never have to collect benefits again. you can also apply for a grant to extend your benefits. in NJ, its called the additional benefits during training program. it will extend your unemployment by half. check your local unemployment and employment office.

If the company fires you for any reason other than intentional misconduct then you can apply for and can win your unemployment benefits.You may have to file an appeal but if you win you will collect a lump sum of your weekly benefits owed to you.The burden of proof is on the company.Remember "intentional" is the key.If you are layed off for lack of work you can draw and under certain circumstances you can quit and draw benefits.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR\n\n\nAppropriate Procedures. Unemployment benefit payments to illegal aliens can, largely, be prevented by more careful verification before a first payment is made. Following is the recommended general procedure for implementing a verification system. Specific procedures must be developed jointly with the INS.\n\nWhen a claimant indicates that he or she is not a U.S. citizen, the claimant should be asked to produce his or her immigration document. If the claimant does not have a document, he or she should be advised that no determination of eligibility will be made until such time as the claimant returns to the local office with the required document\n\n        Immigrant Entry and Native Exit \n\nLooking first at all workers shows that between March 2000 and March 2005 only 9 percent of the net increase in jobs for adults (18 to 64) went to natives. This is striking because natives accounted for 61 percent of the net increase in the overall size of the 18 to 64 year old population. \n\n\nAs for the less-educated, between March of 2000 and 2005 the number of adult immigrants (legal and illegal) with only a high school degree or less in the labor force increased by 1.6 million. \n\nA national unemployment rate of 5 percent is irrelevant to the current debate over illegal immigration because illegals are overwhelmingly employed in only a few occupations, done mostly by workers with only a high school degree or less. In these high-illegal occupations, native unemployment averages 10 percent — twice the national average. Moreover, the unemployment rate does not consider the growing percentage of less-educated workers who are not even looking for work and have left the labor market altogether. It would be an oversimplification to assume that each job taken by an immigrant is a job lost by a native. What is clear is that the last five years have seen a record level of immigration. At the same time, the unemployment rate of less-educated natives has remained high and the share that have left the labor force altogether has grown significantly. Wage growth has also generally been weak. Thus it is very hard to see any evidence of a labor shortage that could justify allowing illegal aliens to stay or to admit more as guestworkers. Rather, the available evidence suggests that immigration may be adversely impacting less-educated natives. The statistical findings of this study are consistent with other research that has looked at the pattern of immigrant job gains and native loses in recent years\nhttp://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back206.html\n\n\n\nThe U.S. unemployment rate today is at the highest level in 20 years. \nMillions of hard-working Americans who are desperate for jobs can't find them, and both the short term and long term prospects do not bode well for many American workers.\n\nThe economic problems we face would be bad enough if all we had to contend with were a recovering economy, the continued threat of terrorism, and increased competition from foreign companies. \n\nBut a Congress that should be looking for ways to help unemployed Americans is busy opening the floodgates to millions of new immigrants who take jobs away from Americans - and also helping companies take the remaining jobs offshore.\n\nIt almost appears that our government is committed to making sure everybody in the world has a job - except Americans.\n\nHistorically, the U.S. admitted around 300,000 legal immigrants per year, but Congress changed our immigration policies back around 1965 and opened the floodgates. We now allow more than a MILLION legal immigrants into the country each year. A small number of these are refugees; some have special skills not easily found here. But an increasingly large percentage of those pouring through our borders are undereducated, unskilled workers who threaten the income of blue-collar workers, the backbone of America. Millions more come here each year ILLEGALLY, and the government does nothin

I'm presuming you are from Canada, since Employment Insurance is common here. \n\nEmployment Insurance is a program run by your provincial government. If you lose your job, depending on the circumstances, you can apply for unemployment benefits. These benefits will be paid to you until you find another job or the benefit period expires. Most provinces will pay unemployment benefits for 1 year maximum. At that point, you would have to apply for other kinds of social assistance in order to keep getting money from the government. \n\nIf you are never out of work, you don't ever collect. So, you don't "get your money back".

Check the Department of Labor website for your state, they will have a link to the Unemployment benefits area; you will probably be able to apply online.

Since unemployment is all done by phone now you can probably just call.  If it's not automated in your state, then go in and check.

You must possess a valid social security number, be able to show-up on time, and do a good job.\n\nHow about, "what are three things you've left out of your question?"  It's just a bit too vague.

the unemployed should be responsible for themselves.

I would say that you are not.  Unemployment benefits are for those who were wrongly fired or laid-off.  It is meant to serve as a safety net for those at or near poverty level.  Hopefully you did some planning by saving some money to hold you over until you find your new job.  Good luck!

Unemployment rules vary somewhat from state to state.  The state I live in allows owners of small corps to draw unemployment for 6 or 7 weeks per year.  Partners and sole prop. cannot draw benefits.  Contact your local unemployment office to find out if you qualify.

check your local unemployment office or see if your state has a web page. in NJ there are 2 considerations. 1.) did you work long enough and earn enough to establish a valid claim. 2.) what was the reason for separation.

If you quit a job you are not eligible for unemployment compensation.  Likewise if you are fired and your employer can prove gross misconduct or violation of company policy.  Once you are re-employed, you are no longer eligible as well.  If you are caught working for someone who is paying you cash, your benefits will stop and you will have to repay any money you received under unemployment benefits.  These are just a few of the circumstances that would alter your eligibility for benefits.  I'm sure there are others.

It varies state to state.  Some places it is as low as 14 with parental consent.  You would have to check out what your state laws are.  Usually you can go to your state's website and find information on it.  Otherwise you might want to call something like a local unemployment office or even a temporary agency and ask them.  They should be able to tell you.
