What is the maximum amount of benefits I can receive?

The maximum amount of benefits one can receive from Workforce West Virginia is determined by several factors. primarily the individual's earnings during their base period. The base period is the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before the claim filing. Generally, the maximum benefit amount is calculated by taking a percentage (around 50%) of the average weekly wage the applicant earned during the two highest-paying quarters of the base period. This amount is subject to a weekly maximum limit, usually set by law, which can vary depending on the state. It's important to note that each case is unique, and it is recommended to consult the Workforce West Virginia website or reach out to a representative for precise calculations regarding one's specific circumstances.
