Am I considered eligible for unemployment?
So I got a letter in the mail stating I was not eligible because I didn't make enough wages (at least 2600) I resent 2 W2 forms with a job (camming site) where I made at least 3,000 in 2018 and around 1900 on 2019. Will I qualify for unemployment now?

Unemployment eligibility is based on income earned per QUARTER.
Since you only earned $3,000 in A WHOLE YEAR for 2018 and only $1900 in A WHOLE YEAR - you will not qualify.
You needed to earn at least $2600 in a THREE MONTH time frame just prior to applying for unemployment.
You need to prove you had a high enough income for the time frame that qualifies you and that is usually the one to two quarters right before your application.
It sounds like your income for the last six months has been too low to qualify.

Do you know what a financial quarter is? it's Jan-Mar, Apr-June, July-Sept, Oct-Dec.
If you applied before March 31, your work period is Oct 1, 2018-Sept 30, 2019.
If you applied after April 1, your work period is Jan 1-Dec 31, 2019.
To be eligible, you have earned $2600 in two work periods during your application period.
If you only earned $4900 during your period, you would not qualify. If there are other W2s you haven't told us about, you won't.

The good old state you live in determines your eligibility.

Depends where you live and their requirements, which you didn't provide. Did the camming job pay into UI?
