federal law governs unemployment insurance.  if you are old enough to LEGALLY work and the employer paid its contribution to the UI fund, you are eligible regardless of age.

Young people 14 to 15 years of age are permitted to work in a number of different types of businesses, with the majority working in some form of retail or food services. A work certificate is required during the school year. The employment of young people over the age of 16 does not fall under Missouri law, but some restrictions do exist under federal law. \n\nProhibited occupations generally involve dangerous equipment (cookers, slicers), dangerous materials (such as toxic chemicals), or dangerous duties (driving, roofing). In addition there are specific restrictions regarding employment in hotels and in businesses that sell alcoholic beverages. The U. S. Department of Labor also has restrictions listed in their

Unemployment Insurance Taxes\n\nUnemployment Insurance (UI) is a federal-state program jointly financed through federal and state employer payroll taxes (federal/state UI tax). Generally, employers must pay both state and federal unemployment taxes if: (1) they pay wages to employees totaling $1500, or more, in any quarter of a calendar year; or, (2) they had at least one employee during any day of a week during 20 weeks in a calendar year, regardless of whether or not the weeks were consecutive. However, some state laws differ from the federal law and employers should contact their state workforce agencies to learn the exact requirements.\n\n\nFederal Unemployment Tax Act\n\nThe Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), authorizes the Internal Revenue Service to collect a federal employer tax used to fund state workforce agencies. Employers pay this tax annually by filing IRS Form 940. FUTA covers the costs of administering the UI and Job Service programs in all states. In addition, FUTA pays one-half of the cost of extended unemployment benefits (during periods of high unemployment) and provides for a fund from which states may borrow, if necessary, to pay benefits.\nFederal Tax Rate\n\nThe FUTA tax rate is 6.2% of taxable wages. The taxable wage base is the first $7,000 paid in wages to each employee during a calendar year. Employers who pay the state unemployment tax, on a timely basis, will receive an offset credit of up to 5.4% regardless of the rate of tax they pay the state. Therefore, the net federal tax rate is generally 0.8% (6.2% - 5.4%). This would equate to a maximum of $56.00 per employee, per year (.008 X $7,000. = $56.00) in federal tax. State tax rates are based on requirements of state law. A table of current tax rates and taxable wage base information for individual states is available in this web site under, “On This Page” Tax Statistics 2002.\nState Unemployment Tax\n\nThe state Unemployment Tax, paid to state workforce agencies, is used solely for the payment of benefits to eligible unemployed workers.\nDomestic Employers Coverage\n\nEmployers of domestic employees must pay state and federal unemployment taxes if they pay cash wages to household workers totaling $1,000, or more, in any calendar quarter of the current or preceding year. A household worker is an employee who performs domestic services in a private home. Examples of household employees are: babysitters, caretakers, cleaning people, drivers, nannies, health aides, yard workers and private nurses.\nEmployers of Agricultural Employees\n\nEmployers must pay federal unemployment taxes if: (1) they pay cash wages to employees of $20,000, or more, in any calendar quarter; or, (2) in each of 20 different calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year, there was at least 1 day in which they had 10 or more employees performing service in agricultural labor. The 20 weeks do not have to be consecutive weeks, nor must they be the same 10 employees, nor must all employees be working at the same time of the day.\n\nGenerally, agricultural employers are also subject to state unemployment taxes, and employers should contact their state workforce agencies to learn the exact requirements.\n\nThe Federal Unemployment Tax Act imposes on every employer an excise tax of 6.2 percent (percentage may change from year to year) of the total wages paid by him during a calendar year with respect to employment. Under the Federal Act, the employer is allowed credit against the Federal tax in the amount of contributions paid by him into the unemployment fund under a state unemployment insurance law. This means that an employer’s Federal unemployment tax rate will be 0.8 percent of the total wages paid by him for employment; provided, he has paid contributions to the South Carolina Employment Security Commission as required under the South Carolina Employment Security Law.\n\nIn South Carolina, the normal tax rate for a new employer under the South Carolina Emplo

It is illegal to ask a job applicant in any way what their age is. \nThis is a federal law.\nThey can ask if you are the minimum age or older for the hours or working conditions.\nOtherwise, they are breaking Federal age discrimination laws and should be reported.\n\nAfter being hired, if you are young looking they can request verfication of your miniumum age by requesting a copy of your birth certificate or other ID.

The previous poster is incorrect.  In fact, the unemployment benefits program is paid for by a tax paid by employers, not employees.  The tax is applied to the first $7000 of wages paid to each employee.  The exact percentage of tax the employer pays varies; it depends on how many previous unemployment claims that employer had (the fewer claims, the lower the tax on the employer)

"until you can get a new job" implies you had a job. Unemployment is just for this. You Work you pay the insurance, now you need to take some benefits from all that money you paid. It is paid weekly and you have to be looking for a job. If you worked under the table then you can't do it, along with some other requirements that you will have to answer questions about to make sure you qualify.

The McDonalds by my house has a sign that says "Hiring 15 years olds", try your local McDonald's. But you can only work limited hours due to age, school. I think some car washes, skating rinks, movie theaters, grocery stores, swimming clubs (concession stands) hire 15 years old. Good luck.

It depends on why you were fired. Being married or having kids has nothing to do with you eligibility.

I would say that you are not.  Unemployment benefits are for those who were wrongly fired or laid-off.  It is meant to serve as a safety net for those at or near poverty level.  Hopefully you did some planning by saving some money to hold you over until you find your new job.  Good luck!

Child Labor Laws are federally mandated, so it dosent matter what state your in.  The answer to your question is you cant employ children under 14 or 15.  Its tricky with family businesses, however.

I am assuming you mean Debts. I do not know the specific laws in Kansas, but I do know that a company collect a debt as long as you recognize it as your debt. Meaning 10 years from now, if you acknowledge an old debt, you can be forced to pay it off.

yes if you are laid off you can apply for unemployment, if they fire you, I am not sure but I don't think you can collect unemployment then. But I don't know for sure

Well, that's called age discrimination and it's illegal.  I believe the law is that they must hire the most qualified candidate regardless of age, gender etc etc.  Contact the EEOC if you want to make an issue of it.

You must be 16 to be completely free to work. 14 and 15 year olds can work in very specific situations. See the site below.
