How long can I receive unemployment benefits?

Asked a year ago
The duration of unemployment benefits in Georgia is determined by federal and state regulations. As of 2021, Georgia offers a standard maximum of 14 weeks of regular state unemployment benefits. Under the federal CARES Act, Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) provides an additional 24 weeks of benefits, while Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) offers up to 79 weeks of benefits for individuals not typically eligible for regular state benefits. However, these federal programs are subject to ongoing legislation and may change. Extensions may be available during periods of high unemployment through Extended Benefits (EB) or other federal programs. It is important to regularly check the Georgia Department of Labor website or consult with their representatives to stay updated on the available benefits and eligibility requirements.
