How much money will I receive in unemployment benefits?

The amount of money an individual receives in unemployment benefits from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is determined by several factors. The base period, which is the first four quarters of the last five completed calendar quarters, is used to calculate the benefits. The weekly benefit amount is generally around 1/25th of the individual's total wages in the highest-paid quarter of the base period. It can range from $69 to $521 per week, excluding dependents' allowances. However, TWC has a minimum and maximum limit on benefits. The minimum payment is $25 per week, while the maximum payment is $521 per week. TWC provides detailed information about computation methods and additional allowances on its website to help individuals determine their specific benefit amount.
