Can you file an unemployment insurance claim in a state in which you've never worked or lived? ?

Question

I know for certain that there is one state which allows this, only so long as the claimant is *physically present* in that state during the time they file (even if they do not have a permanent address there).

Think carefully before you answer this question.
