Unless you had previous work history from which to draw unemployment against, you would not be eligible on one weeks employment only.
No, one week without work is not unemployment. It's a vacation.
Yes you could draw unemployment this happened to one of my family members.
How much unemployment will I receive a week after baing laid off a 30K a year job?
I've done that! The deal is, you have so many weeks of unemployment coming to you. You must let them know that you worked that week when you report in, and they will subtract it from your benefit. It should be a temporary job, while you are looking for work to replace the job you were laid off from.
Yes you most certainly can.
You can file for unemployment as soon as you are laid off.
With the recent downturn in the economy and the loss of jobs, people are turning to unemployment insurance to make a living. Unemployment insurance is provided through each state, and it is a fund that you as the employee actually pay into. The company you are working for will send in money to the state for unemployment. This money aids in the unemployment fund for the state, allowing you to draw unemployment insurance. The length of time you receive unemployment insurance depends on the state you live in as well. Unemployment insurance is a safety net for those who are working and lose their job through no fault of their own. The longer you work at a job before you are laid off or the business closes, the more money you will make each week on unemployment. When you lose your job you can go to your local unemployment office to file for unemployment insurance. The only way you will be able to draw is if you were not at fault for losing your job. Once all the paperwork has been filed and the unemployment has been approved, you will need to file each week in order to receive payment. You can file each week that you are unemployed by calling the state phone number or logging in on the internet. You will receive a debit card that your weekly payments will be posted on each week. Every state lets people draw on unemployment for different lengths of time. The basic unemployment lasts for 20 weeks. After this initial 20 weeks is up, you will be routed to tiers of unemployment. The tiers are dependent on the unemployment rate for each state. If the state unemployment rate is at a percentage that is greater than that of the country, you will most likely be able to draw on all four tiers of unemployment. You will receive the same weekly amount when you switch to the tiers, but the weeks will decrease with each tier. You will need to keep filing each week after you have been transitioned to the tiers of unemployment. More information can be found about unemployment at your local unemployment office.

I moved from Washington to Missouri, I found a job right away but it was seasonal. When I was laid off for the winter I had not worked long enough in MO to be eligible for unemployment thru Missouri, so my claim was paid out of Washington (at that state's maximum amount). It was definately a benefit because it paid more than Missouri would have. In fact, I received more in unemployment per week than I got paid per week in Missouri
In the state of Maryland, you are allowed to make up to $100 per week.
You can file for unemployment if you got fired or laid off your job after working for six months. You can get pre-tax benefits or opt to have taxes taken out up front. You report any days you worked for the period of time (week). You will not get benefits for those days. the rest of the days they will pay you. But that will extend the benefits period. All benefits will have to be reported on your taxes.
Most states require you to work full time 32-40 hours per week for six months. Then, you can have unemployment checks. You need to phone your unemployment agency and find out what the qualifications are, in your area.
