What is the weekly benefit amount for unemployment benefits?

The weekly benefit amount for unemployment benefits in Georgia is determined by the individual's previous earnings. The Georgia Department of Labor calculates the benefit amount by taking the highest earning quarter from the individual's base period and dividing it by 21. Individuals can receive a weekly benefit amount ranging from a minimum of $44 to a maximum of $365. This amount is subject to change each year based on the state's average weekly wage. It is important for individuals to accurately report their earnings during their base period to ensure they receive the appropriate benefit amount. Additional factors, such as dependents, may also impact the weekly benefit amount.
