Answer 1

You can't get unemployment if you're a student.

Answer 2

iF YOU GO TO SCHOOL FULL TIME, THERE IS NO STATE UMP OFFICE THAT WILL GIVE YOU MONEY.

Answer 3

You have to have been a full-time employee of a business that pays unemployment insurance.  Students are not eligible. You have to have been laid off, not fired for cause or voluntarily quit.  Even then, you only get six months of unemployment, not a year.  You have to be actively looking for work and not a student to continue receiving.
