How do unemployment benefits typically work?

How is compensation computed and how long are you able to retain unemployment benefits? Does it normally include health/dental insurance? I live in New York State.
--------------------
Insurance is not part of the 'package' but must be made available through COBRA at a much greater cost than you were paying. I'm not sure how exactly they compute the amount you are eligible to receive, but benefits run for approx. 6 months. It normally takes a couple of weeks after applying for your first check to arrive.
