Yes, you are totally entitled to this money, and you´ll probably max out at the highest rate. It´s not much, like $1700 a month after taxes paid every fifteen days but definitely worth it. The first week after you are supposed to get unemployment benefits is a 'hold week' which means, you are not getting paid, but the benefit kicks in on the second week. You just have to fill out a form they send you on the mail every 15 days attesting you are looking for a job, and that's about it. I think you can get it for half a year.
