It varies, depending on your county. It's not how long you worked there, it's whether or not you earned a minimum amount.
The following rules apply: * You must be laid off through no fault of your own. * You must have worked for an employer (or employers) who paid taxes in your name. * You must have earned a minimum amount of wages during the 12-month period occurring before the quarter in which you were laid off. (Contact your local Workforce Center for details.) Their site is http://www.sces.org You seem to be in Hilton Head, so the local office would probably be 914 Boundary Street

Unemployment benefits are governed by states, so it will depend on what state you worked in. I am not aware of any state that has a limitation on how long you needed to be working to obtain benefits. I would check with your state's department of labor or workforce development. In some larger states, you may have a department of unemployment, which would be where I would suggest too.
