Normally, when they let you go. However, in each state, there are special circumstances in which you'd still be eligible if you quit (i.e. hazardous working conditions, discrimination, spousal relocating, etc.). Because each state is different, you need to check with the employment security office in your own state for clarification.

Can you collect unemployment benefits in Colorado if you received a lump sum severance payment that is equal to 6 months of pay?
Unemployment benefits have nothing to do with severance payments - severance is a lump sum payment that covers the period from when you would have been let go and when you were actually let go. The key words there are "let go". You cannot draw Unemployment benefits if you leave a job of your own accord (in other words if you quit). However, if your employer fires you, lays you off, whatever term they use, if you are out of a job because the company has told you that your job is no longer available for any reason, then you are eligible for Unemployment. That's why you should never quit a job - always let them fire you so you can collect, regardless of the circumstances. Companies will sometimes hound and harass employees just to get them to quit so they can't collect Unemployment. They are complete and utter snakes. Many people don't realize that Unemployment Benefits are funded in part by deductions from your own salary in the form of State taxes. It's your money - you'd better be able to collect it. How much you get depends on how long you were employed by the company that let you go. They have to put in so much money for your Unemployment Benefits as well. Usually the longer you were there the more you get for a longer period of time. It's important that you file ASAP as it takes time to get the ball rolling and get that first check, especially today with more people having problems.

If an employee gave notice and is let go does he get unemployment?
No he does not. He quit, he did not get fired. If he had gotten fired, he would have gotten unemployment. <><> It depends on the reason he gave notice. If he did it due to work conditions or an emergency covered by state rules, he might.
Can you collect unemployment if your employer lets you go before your resignation?
Generally, when one is eligible to receive unemployment benefits if one is unemployed through no fault of his own -- this contemplates the possibilities of a lay-off, getting downsized, or disabled. A company closing is something an employee cannot control -- however, if he resigns, then he is unemployed because of his own choice. An exception to this would be constructive dismissal. It depends. If you are retiring, you cannot collect unemployment because you do not intend to return to the work force. If you quit, it depends on the reason you quit and whether the state allows the conditions for which you did so.
If you live in Michigan and you quit one job for a new job and then was let go from the new job after three weeks can you collect unemployment or will you be denied?
You will be denied. You have to work somewhere for a full year to receive unemployment. And quitting a job does not allow you to collect either.
Can you collect unemployment benefits due to relocating to attend graduate school?
Probably not although I am a little confused by what you are asking. You have to have been employed and let go for no fault of your own in order to collect unemployment. Grad school is school, not a job (although I am sure it feels like a job!) and so just because you are relocating to attend graduate school you are not necessarily entitled to it and if you had to quit your job for that reason then that will probably be seen as "your fault"
Can a church refuse to pay unemployment benefits to a full time paid employee that was let go?
The church is not the one that pays the unemployment benefits...it's the state in which the worker worrks. In addition, most states allow churches an exempt status, meaning they do not pay a payroll tax to the state, thereby the worker may not be entitled in the first place.
