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

Asked 6 months ago
The maximum amount of unemployment benefits an individual can receive in Washington State is determined by their highest quarterly earnings during their base year, the reference period used to calculate benefits. As of July 2021, the maximum weekly benefit amount is $844, and the maximum total benefit amount that can be received in one benefit year is $21,100. However, it is important to note that these figures are subject to change as they are regularly adjusted to reflect changes in the state's average weekly wage. To obtain a more accurate estimate of your potential benefits, it is recommended to use the Washington State Employment Security Department's online benefits calculator or consult their official website for the most up-to-date information.
