What Information Can You Provide on Tennessee Unemployment Benefits?

Answer:
To be eligible for Tennessee unemployment benefits,

an individual must have been previously employed in a covered position and have earned sufficient wages during the twelve-month base period that occurred prior to the quarter in which an unemployment claim is filed.

The claimant must be unemployed or employed in a part-time position that does not provide wages in excess of the weekly unemployment benefit amount for which he or she would be eligible. The loss of employment or reduction in hours may not have been caused by actions that are the fault of the claimant.
