To be eligible for unemployment benefit payments, you must:

Lose your job through no fault of your own OR quit for good cause
related to the work or the employer.
Make at least $2,250€”at least $1,500 during one of the calendar
quarters, and at least $750 during the remainder of the base period€”from
an insured employer during your base period. (See chart below).
AND your total base period wages must be at least 1.5 times your highest
quarter wages.
OR you must make at least 1.5 times the Taxable Wage Base during two of
the four base period quarters.
