What is the maximum weekly benefit amount for unemployment benefits?

The maximum weekly benefit amount for unemployment benefits in Nevada is determined by a formula based on a claimant's wages during a specific base period. As of 2021, the maximum benefit amount is $469 per week. However, this amount may be adjusted annually based on changes in the statewide average weekly wage. It is important to note that not everyone will receive the maximum amount, as benefits are calculated based on earnings history and previous wages. Additionally, claimants must meet ongoing eligibility requirements and report any income earned during the benefit period. For more detailed information about unemployment benefits and eligibility criteria, individuals are encouraged to visit the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) website or contact them directly.
