You have to have a valid reason to be able to collect unemployment benefits such as losing your job, getting laid off, or even in some instances getting fired. Both State and Federal law allows for a maximum of 79 weeks of unemployment benefits, provided you qualify for that duration. So it depends on your personal circumstances as to how long and if you qualify for unemployment benefits.
