How long do you have to be employed in Indiana to collect unemployment?

Answer 1

You must work long enough for your employer to have contributed to the unemployment insurance fund. Depending on the type of work, normally employers contribute to the unemployment insurance fund monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. A good rule-of-thumb to follow would be 90 days, but check with your employer, because of the date of employment which may cause contributions to vary for up to 6 months.

Here is the official requirements:

Like other types of insurance, the unemployment insurance program requires that you meet certain conditions before qualifying to receive payment. To qualify, you must meet both personaland monetary eligibility requirements.

• A monetary determination will show the wages paid to you by employers who have contributed to the unemployment insurance fund during your base period (the first four of the last five completed quarters before the beginning of your claim).
• Benefits are figured by the amount of earnings during this 12 month base period. A weekly benefit amount is determined by the calendar quarter with the highest earnings.
