Best Answer

Besides the monetary requirements, the normal period of employment (total time) must be in at least 2 quarters of the base period (the first 4 of the last 5 complete calendar quarters). If you don't qualify then, there is an Alternate method of determining work period. If you still don't qualify, then the last quarter worked for an employer would be used. However, once a method has been chosen, you cannot go back and re-figure a new method, so be careful and discuss the option with the state.

Your base period is the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters. You have to earn wages in at least 2 of those 4 quarters, total of all work. There are monetary requirements, but this addresses the length of employment.
