The state then pays unemployment benefits from the pool of those generated tax revenues. The amount you receive in compensation depends on several factors and the period you receive benefits is set by law and generally is for up to a 26 week period in a benefit year of 52 weeks, unless extended by federal law or emergency legislation. The benefit is taxable, but the amount payable to the IRS depends, as any other type income, on your tax rate, the amount received, etc.
