The rules for obtaining unemployment vary from State to State. I am assuming that you were paid on the books, your boyfriend paid unemployement insurance for you (but this may not matter) and that you were fired or let go (you did not quit). Here is the link for the agency that covers unemployment in Arizona. It gives you the info for filing a claim. Good luck. https://egov.azdes.gov/CMSInternet/main.aspx?menu=234&id=2550
