A) The length of time you need to work on your job to be eligible for unemployment benefits varies by state. In general, you must have worked for a certain amount of time and earned a minimum amount of wages during a “base period” to qualify for benefits.

The base period is usually the first four out of the last five completed calendar quarters before you file your claim for benefits. For example, if you file your claim in April 2023, the base period would typically be January 2022 through December 2022.

The specific requirements for the length of time you need to work and the minimum wages you need to earn vary by state, so you should check with your state’s unemployment insurance program for more information. In general, most states require that you have worked for at least 12-18 months and earned a minimum amount of wages during that time.

In almost every state, the base period is one year: The earlier four of the five complete calendar quarters before the applicant filed for unemployment. To make sure applicants have done enough recent work to qualify for benefits, states look at their earnings, time worked, or both during the “base period.” Because the base period doesn’t include the quarter in which the applicant files for benefits or the quarter immediately preceding it, it doesn’t count the applicant’s most recent employment. http://www.employmentlawfirms.com/resources/employment/unemployment/how-long-must-i-be-employed-before-being-eligible-for-unempl

In calculating the benefit, the majority of states use the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters preceding the quarter when an unemployment claim is filed, otherwise known as the standard base period (SBP). In addition, depending on circumstances, many states use an alternate base period (ABP) which will include twelve-months earnings to the date of the most recently completed quarter. A few states will use a second alternate base period, which includes earnings to date of discharge and the three quarters preceding that. http://aboutunemployment.org/eligibility-length/
