∙ 13y agoKentucky looks at the first 4 of the last 5 complete calendar quarters you worked They then look at how much you earned and how much the highest quarters earnings were, and the total has to be at least 1 1/2 times the highest quarter's earnings. So it's how much you earned, more than how long.

If you are collecting retirement benefits can you also collect unemployment benefits?
Theoretically yes, the government will take what you are getting in pension away from the amount they think a person needs to live on per week and if there is a difference they will make this up as the unemployment payment. If your weekly pension income is more than the amount, you will not get any unemployment payment but you will be credited with your national insurance stamp each week (you will need 30 years of stamps to get a full state pension at state retirement age). You will also be entitled to the other unemployment concessions.
