As far as I can verify via Google, workers under the age of 18 remain fully eligible for U.S. unemployment insurance. Am I missing anything?

There are also significant hourly restrictions for minors:

Maine explicitly states there are no age limits on UI: http://www.maine.gov/labor/labor_laws/publications/employeerightsguide.html
