Maximum 79 weeks I believe. First 26 weeks is regular state unemployment benefits, then 33 weeks of the Basic Emergency Unemployment Benefits which was approved by Congress, then Governor Bredesen just approved (Nov. 2009)a 20 week state extension.

Further extensions, past Nov. 31, 2010, have not been approved by Congress.
In Massachusetts, you can collect unemployment benefits for up to 26 weeks.
Yes, you can collect unemployment benefits in Massachusetts if you are fired, as long as you were not terminated for misconduct.
In Iowa, you cannot collect unemployment benefits and long-term disability benefits simultaneously. Unemployment benefits are designed for those who are able and available to work, while long-term disability benefits are for individuals unable to work due to a medical condition. If you are receiving long-term disability, you would typically not qualify for unemployment benefits. It's advisable to consult with a local unemployment office or legal expert for specific situations.
Yes, as long as you comply with Florida's regulations concerning the move.
Yes, you can collect unemployment benefits until you start your new job, as long as you meet the eligibility requirements set by your state's unemployment insurance program.
Yes, you can collect both Social Security and unemployment benefits at the same time in Utah, but the state will offset your weekly unemployment check by 50% of the weekly value of your Social Security payments.
You probably can't collect unemployment if you quit. http://jobsearch.about.com/cs/unemployment/a/unemployment.htm
In order to collect unemployment benefits, you must be physically able to work. In order to get disability benefits, you must NOT be able to work. So you can't have it both ways.
Looks like right now you can get 26 weeks of unemployment assuming you have enough benefits to collect the full 26 weeks. And if you are eligible you can qualify for an additional 33 weeks of emergency unemployment benefits.
Yes, you can collect from both programs at the same time, as long as you qualify under each one on its own terms.
You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to. I worked for the Unemployment Office & just an FYI, they do not know if you are on social security and are unable to check, so if you do not say anything, they will never know.
If your teacher's retirement is classified as a pension, you need to contact your unemployment office for clarification. Certain pensions may reduce the amount of unemployment benefits a person receives.
