Unemployment Compensation

[bethlehem]

I recently got laid off from work. It appears like I am eligible to apply for Unemployment Compensation. Does anybody know if there are any negative consequences later on if you accept the Unemployment Compensation?
Thanks

It is paid from a fund created from insurance premiums paid by employers. It does not make you a public charge; it is a benefit due you from your previous employment. File and use their services to help you get a new job.
