Nope, unemployment insurance lasts for 2 years. And requires you to: (a) pay membership fees, and, (b) be actively looking for a job. They'll give you some flexibility, so you might not have to accept the first job. If you're not a member or two years are up options are: join and work to regain coverage, work for something around a year or so -- lots of special cases. Or get unemployment benefits from government. Much less ~1400 USD, requires lots of activities like hunting for jobs, and not have assets exceeding ~10k USD.
