Yes you can, but they don't pay anyway. The only way you can collect unemployment if you had a full time position and lost it (no fault of your own). You can't collect if you decided to work through an agency. They are temp work only. There is no guarantee that they will find you work every time you finish "a job" and is on their waiting list. You have to report your wages anyway. So, probably not.

Unemployment benefit is paid to those who are out of work. If you find work you must tell the benefit agency or you will be committing a crime (fraud). Depending on how much you earn it may be that the agency will top up your earnings to the equivalent of your unemployment entitlement (if your wages are less) so as to ease you back into full time work.
