	Introduction to Unemployment Insurance, Revised 11/10/03
		This program provides up to 13 weeks (or 20 weeks, in extremely high unemployment states) of extra benefits for workers who have exhausted their 26 weeks of state benefits, and is funded half by state and half by federal dollars.
		These revenues flow into state unemployment trust funds, and are used to pay the actual benefits that workers receive under the regular state program, as well as the state share of benefits under the Extended Benefits program.
		Many unemployed workers do not qualify for benefits at all, either because they never had a job in the first place, or because they do not meet the program’s eligibility criteria.

	When You Are Entitled to Unemployment Compensation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		And, because unemployment compensation is administered by each state, whether or not you are eligible for benefits may also depend on your specific circumstances and your state’s rules.
		Fired employees can claim unemployment benefits if they were terminated because of financial cutbacks or because they were not a good fit for the job for which they were hired.
		In most states, however, a fired employee will not be able to receive unemployment benefits if he or she was fired for “misconduct.” Although you may think that any action that leads to termination would constitute misconduct, the unemployment laws don’t look at it that way.
