In order to claim your unemployment benefits you will have to contact your local unemployment office. Each state has slightly different rules and procedures for claiming unemployment benefits. In most cases you will have to call in or go into the office to file a claim. You may even be able to do it online.

Claiming unemployment benefits varies by state. However, some of the filing procedures are standard across the U.S. One of them being that you were not fired from your job due to any fault of your own. In some cases this stipulation can be waived because everyone has different circumstances. Also, most states allow you to apply online.

If you were fired from a job you probably won't get benefits. Go to the unemployment office and fill out papers. They will ask you for work history. You will probably have to do job searching while you recieve unemployment. They will want who, when and what the job entailed each time you go on an interview.
