It is the policies of a government in general that exacerbate unemployment, not any particular party. When you over-regulate, over-tax, inflate the currency, selectively enforce the law, bail out some but not others, etc., this will cause dislocations in the market leading to failed enterprises, curtailed growth, and unemployment. When you further mandate a minimum wage, that also causes unemployment. As both parties do these things, they are both responsible.
The minimum amount of income you need to earn in order to qualify for unemployment benefits varies by state. Each state has its own requirements for eligibility, which may include a minimum amount of wages earned or a minimum number of hours worked during a specific time period. It is important to check with your state's unemployment office for specific information on eligibility criteria.

The minimum weekly benefit is $25 and the maximum is $443.
A raise in the minimum wage causes a significant increase in the cost of living. Although less the 1/10 of 1% of people are paid just the minimum wage there are numerous employment contracts tied to that number. An example in a collective bargaining agreement may state a particular job will pay 3,4 or 5 times minimum wage. So if minimum wages increased by 25 cents per hour that contract would automatically pay 75 cents to $1.25 per hour morecausing goods and services to increase in order to compensate.
