I just got laid off. I have 6 months until I'm 18. I am looking for work, but can't seem to find any other than fast food. Can I get unemployment in Tennessee?

Tennessee law provides a formula by which the Division of Employment Security calculates your weekly benefit amount. The total amount you may draw during your benefit year is determined, under that formula, by the total amount of wages you earned in your base period. Your base period is the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters immediately preceding your filing a valid new claim for benefits.
Requirements For Eligibility
There are certain requirements that you must meet before you can receive unemployment insurance benefits. Among these are the following:
1. You must be totally or partially unemployed through no fault of your own and be approved for benefits.
2. You must have worked in employment that is covered by unemployment insurance and have qualifying wages in the base period.
3. You must be physically able to work at the time you file your first claim.
4. You must be available to accept suitable work offered to you.
5. You must have earned enough wages at your work to qualify for benefits.
6. After filing your claim, you must serve one week of waiting for which no payment is made. You will be paid for your waiting week if and when you have certified and been eligible for benefits in your waiting week and in each of the three consecutive weeks immediately following your waiting week.
7. Each week, you must report the gross amount of any money you have earned during that week, even if you are not paid until later.

Most unemployment is based on having enough worked "quarters" to qualify. You didn't say how long you had been working.

Unemployment is funded by your own Social Security, You can only collect what you put into it.
