What are the eligibility requirements for unemployment benefits?

To be eligible for unemployment benefits in Nevada, individuals must meet certain requirements. Firstly, applicants must have lost their job due to reasons beyond their control, such as a layoff or reduction in hours. They must also have earned a minimum amount of wages during a specific base period. This base period typically consists of the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters. Additionally, claimants must be able and available to work, actively seeking suitable employment opportunities, and willing to accept suitable job offers. They must register for work with the Nevada JobConnect and create a resume on the JobConnect website. Applicants need to report their work search activities each week and meet the established weekly benefit amount. Finally, individuals must meet any additional requirements as set forth by the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR).
