when does unemployment start?

My severance pay ran out the end of Sept.  I signed into my umemployment account today hoping that I would get my first payment... Not so...  Starting to worry how I am going to pay my bills this month. 

My brother (who is 63 retired from his company -- actually it was a layoff but he took his retirement) lives in TN.  He also got a severance pay but was able to collect his unemployment right away...  His severance amount was not a factor in his unemployment...  Wonder why each state has such different unemployment rules... I thought unemployment was a federal program???
