You must have worked for an employer subject to the payment of Unemployment insurance tax. Your employer should be able to advise you if they pay unemployment taxes or you may contact one of our Nebraska Claims Center offices.
To qualify for benefits you must meet the minimum monetary requirements of earning at least $2651.00 in the base period (first four of the last five completed calendar quarters, prior to when the claim is filed), with at least $800.00 in each of two separate base period calendar quarters. Example: If you file a claim in the first quarter (January,February or March) the base period would be the fourth quarter of the year before last and the first three quarters of last year.
In order to qualify to receive benefits, an individual must be able to work; be available for work; and if not returning in the near future to their former employer, actively seeking work each week.

I am over 66 and have been receiving social security benefits for 3 months. My supervisor is trying to force me into retirement, making my working condition unbearable. If I quit or she fires me, can I collect unemployment on top of my social security before I find another job?
Jolene
Thanks
