A) Whether or not you are eligible to draw unemployment benefits after being let go from your job depends on a number of factors, including the reason for your termination, the length of your employment, and the laws of your state.

In general, you are eligible for unemployment benefits if you were laid off or fired through no fault of your own. If you were let go for reasons such as poor performance, misconduct, or violation of company policy, you may not be eligible for benefits.

The length of your employment can also affect your eligibility for unemployment benefits. In most states, you must have worked for a certain amount of time in the past year in order to qualify for benefits. For example, in California, you must have worked for at least 680 hours in the past year in order to qualify for unemployment benefits.

Finally, the laws of your state will also determine your eligibility for unemployment benefits. Each state has its own set of unemployment laws, so it is important to check with your state’s unemployment office to see if you are eligible for benefits.

If you are unsure whether or not you are eligible for unemployment benefits, you should contact your state’s unemployment office. They will be able to assess your individual situation and determine if you qualify for benefits.

If you have worked full time for 2 years you will generally qualify for unemployment benefits. Working for two years should more than satisfy your state work hour requirements.
