How long do I have to work in Idaho to qualify for unemployment benefits?

In order to qualify for unemployment benefits through the Idaho Department of Labor, you typically need to have worked and earned wages in Idaho for a specific period of time. The exact duration varies depending on individual circumstances. Generally, you are required to have worked and earned wages in at least two quarters within a specified base period, which is usually the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before you apply for benefits. The base period is subject to change each quarter. Additionally, you must meet other eligibility criteria, including being separated from your previous job through no fault of your own, actively seeking new employment, and being able and available to work.
