1. I lost my job. Am I eligible for unemployment insurance?

Generally, you are entitled to unemployment insurance (UI) if: (1) you are totally or (in some cases) partially unemployed; (2) you are separated from employment through no fault of your own; (3) you have earned at least $3,500 and worked approximately 15 weeks in roughly the prior 15 months; and (4) you are capable of, available for and actively seeking work.
