When I got laid off from my job - I only had to go to an office to get my "registerd for work papers" signed....everything else is online. I got around $350/wk while I was out of work.

I'm not sure exactly how blogging income figures into the equation but technically you have to report all income earned every week and it counts against your benefit. It really discourages work.

How long can you collect? 3-6 months? I've never had to (yet) collect unemployment so maybe these are stupit questions. If you get a job, then you can no longer collect right? I bet many people get side-jobs for cash and continue to collect. What about consulting? $330 per week it’s much, but it is something. How long can you collect? 3-6 months?

That's why you need to have emergency funds - surviving on 1/4 of your wage or $330 a week is tough! Ouch.
