Here is the official website stating Ohio gets total of 99 weeks of unemployment if eligible (as of Nov. 29, 2010): Check the Related Link below.
If you are initially approved for unemployment benefits in Ohio you may collect benefits for 26 weeks, providing you meet all eligibility requests each week. After you exhaust your initial 26 weeks, you may qualify for Federal Extended unemployment benefits. If approved, your weekly benefit amount will remain the same. This is called the Tier 1 program. If you still were actively seeking, but unable to seek employment within the Tier 1 program you may qualify for the Tier 2 program, which may be a lower benefit amount than the initial 26 weeks or the Tier 1 program.

As in most states, Nevada's base period is the first 4 quarters of the last 5 completed calendar quarters. Now, you have to earn at least $400 in one of those quarters, and the total base period earnings has to be at least 1 1/2 times the highest quarter's earnings, OR you had to have earnings in at least 3 of 4 of those quarters. This could include several jobs, the last probably being the one charged, in most cases.
Unemployment compensation has been subject to Federal Income taxes so far and there is no indication it will be different in 2010. Having said that, anything is possible.
