What is the maximum amount of unemployment benefits I can receive?

Asked a year ago
The maximum amount of unemployment benefits an individual can receive in Georgia is determined by their earnings during a certain base period. The current maximum weekly benefit amount is $365. However, this amount can be modified based on individual circumstances. To calculate the total benefit amount, an individual must multiply the weekly benefit amount by the number of weeks they are eligible to claim benefits, up to a maximum of 26 weeks. Additionally, claimants may be eligible for additional federal unemployment benefits during specific periods of economic downturn or pandemic-related emergencies. It is important to note that eligibility requirements, wage calculations, and benefit amounts can vary based on individual circumstances. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the Georgia Department of Labor's official website or contact their unemployment claims customer service for accurate and up-to-date information.
