Unemployment payments are based on what you were making at your previous job (iirc its like 40% of your previous weekly pay depending on the state). So if you were barely getting by before, unemployment will do basically nothing. In terms of how long you can last, that entirely depends on whether or not you have savings, because UI alone won't cut it for anyone with actual bills to pay.
