If an employer deducts 35 percent from your paycheck can you draw unemployment benefits?

An employer should never deduct anything from your paycheck for unemployment benefits. They have to pay the state you work in a payroll tax based on what they pay the employees, etc. You need to ask what the 35% is for, as it may be Social Security, Medicare, etc. which is not involved with unemployment benefits. If/when you lose your job, your benefits will depend on your work history, and other matters the state uses to determine your eligibility. Check with your state's employment office for clarification.
