You have to work for at least a minimum period of time and earn a minimum amount of wages, both determined by the individual states, but generally it is not limited to one employer, but the accumulation of one or more jobs.

The calculations can also be used to determine partial unemployment benefits, too. As each state makes their own determinations, check with your state's office for clarification.

Usually they consider the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters and then look at the wages earned in some configuration of that base period. The amount you earned and reason for leaving the job plays a role in that also. If you had worked in more than one job they split the claim among the employers involved.

Answer:Sometimes with a family, people are forced into part time work and are unable to make ends meet. Most states allow you to collect unemployment if working part time, under certain circumstances. Some may have you collect on a former employer if you are still in the benefit year and you had claimed unemployment before your present job. Much depends on the state you work in and their criteria. Contact your state unemployment office for clarification.
