Unemployment Insurance - Initial Eligibility

To be eligible to receive unemployment benefits in most states:

1. You must meet the state requirements for wages earned or time worked during a one-year period prior to the claim.

2. You must have become unemployed (or only partially employed) through no fault of your own.

3. You must be able to work: This means that you are physically and mentally capable of working every day of the week for which you are claiming benefits.

4. You must be available for work: This means that you are ready to start a job immediately. It also means you have transportation and do not have to remain at home to care for children or other dependents. You must be available for work every day of the week for which you are claiming benefits.

5. You must actively seek work: This means that for each week of benefits you claim, you must make an active search for work and do all that is reasonable to secure reemployment.
