It isn't the contribution to Social Security that determines when (or if) you qualify for unemployment. It is your work history, the amount of your wages and reason you left your job, etc. You get Social Security after a required number of quarters worked, your age, Social Security entitlements, etc. regardless of your job situation.

In Texas can you apply for Social Security Disability while drawing Florida State Unemployment?
The issue is not with Texas, but with Florida. Florida might charge you with unemployment fraud because you would be drawing their benefits AND the Fed's SSDI. The Social Security Administration investigates very thoroughly before awarding their benefit. If THEY said you wouldn't be able to work due to a disability, Florida's requirements might be violated. If you qualify for SSDI, check to see if you should cancel Florida's benefits.
