There is not a "one size fits all" answer for this question. As each state sets its own requirements for eligibility, you need to contact your own state's employment security office for clarification.
This is highly dependent on the state you work in. Contact your state's employment security office for this information.

You should contact your state unemployment office to get the correct information about any unemployment benefits that you may be entitled to as each state has its own rules, amounts and the number of weeks that the benefits might be available in that state.

Go to the enclosed web site in the Related Link below and maybe you can find some useful information for this purpose.

Workers in any state can receive up to 26 weeks of benefits from the regular state-funded unemployment compensation program.

In the current downturn, workers in any state who exhaust their regular UI benefits before they can find a job can receive up to 34 additional weeks of benefits through the temporary federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program enacted in 2008. That number rises to 53 weeks in states with especially high unemployment rates.

Workers who exhaust their regular UI and EUC benefits can receive additional weeks of benefits through the permanent federal-state Extended Benefits (EB) program if their state's unemployment insurance laws allow it (see table below).

Weeks in different states run from 60, 73, 79, 86, 93 to 99 weeks in different states at this time August 10, 2010.

Each state sets its own standards for determining the non-monetary requirements. In general, you must work in at least 2 of the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters. After that, the earnings plat a larger role in their calculations.
