1. when you leave your job other than fired for misconduct.

2. when you are actively looking for work this week and immediately available to accept work this week.

You can file a claim anytime you have lost your job. The question is...whether you're qualified to receive the benefits. As each state sets its own requirements, contact the state's office in the state you work for clarification.

There is not an age requirement to receive unemployment benefits. Monetary eligibility is based upon the applicant's wage history for a specific period of time specific to each state. Of course, labor laws come into play regarding minimum age requirements to work.

It may depend on the state and exactly what you mean. In Tennessee, you can file your initial claim the first business day that you are officially no longer working. For instance, I got laid off a couple of years ago and was paid through the end of a particular week. The managers decided to let us be off that Friday because we had finished all the paperwork and there was nothing left to do. A couple of us went to the unemployment office since we were off that day, but were told that since the following Monday was our "official" first day off work, we couldn't file until then.

After you file your initial claim, you have to call in every week. Each person is given a day to call, and you can call on that day, or any subsequent day in the week. For instance, my day to call was Tuesday, so I called in on Tuesday of each week, but could have called on any day after Tuesday, but was told not to call Monday because the system wouldn't accept my information until Tuesday or later.

You can start the process as soon as you've become unemployed. There's generally a minimum of 1 week waiting period to allow investigating the claim.

If you work in Tennessee but live in Mississippi can you draw unemployment?

If you live in MS but worked in TN, you will file your claim for unemployment insurance against the state where your wages were reported. Contact your Human Resources or Payroll department.
