When filling out the form online I said that I had been warned in the past that this may affect my future employment. Does it even matter what I was fired for? Also, ff I made approx 37,000 yearly (24,000 in salary and 13,00 0 in commissions) what should I expect for my weekly check (child support n/a)? What hold-ups may I expect? In general, what should I expect as I am clueless in this matter? Thank you

Laws vary widely by state, but the general rule is that unemployment benefits are awarded to people who become unemployed through no fault of their own...with a list of exceptions. Those exceptions include things like quitting to protect a minor from domestic abuse, or due to loss of transportation when no suitable alternative exits (e.g. the bus).
Ballpark unemployment benefits are often around 40% of your former income, but again this varies widely as it's a state function, not federal.
