Unemployment benefits may be garnished to collect child support, but it seems unlikely that someone in jail would be eligible for unemployment benefits.
Unemployment is designed for those ready, willing, and able to work, a status which you clearly do not hold if you are incarcerated. The penalty for lying or misrepresenting yourself to receive unemployment benefits can be severe and is known as benefits fraud - it may include fines and jail time.
There are few different consequences that someone could face for unemployment fraud in California. Someone could have to deal with a fine, jail time, or probation, and possibly all three.

If the question is . . how much unemployment money do you have to steal before going to jail . . . then the answer is ANYamount is an unlawful/illegal amount. Unemployment compensation comes from the taxes paid by everone else. When you commit fraud to receive unenmployment (or ANY other form of welfare) you are committing theft against ALL taxpayers (i.e.: "The State").
You need to report back to Illinois, if you are still receiving the benefits, that you are now working. Otherwise, you could be charged with unemployment fraud, a crime punishable by fines and/or jail.
Yes. If you didn't, you would be over paid in unemployment compensation that you would have to pay back, plus possible interest, fines, and maybe jail if they determine you were guilty of unemployment fraud. You agreed to report any earnings and a new job qualifies there.
Fraud is fraud, and is punishable by jail time if you're convicted.
