Only receive unemployment for....?

And how much does it cost to look for a job? That is a stupid answer from wherever you heard that. It pays a percentage of what you were making at your job with a maximum that is different for each state. Any money is better than none, and if you do not know how many kids you have ( 2 or 3?) you probably will have trouble getting a job. How about getting the father to help out? They are his kids, too.
