How do you figure how much unemployment you will get in Illnois?

Answer 1

The state handbook provides that: "Your weekly benefit rate is one twenty-sixth (1/26) of the high quarter wages paid to you in your base period. Exception: If your high quarter wages are $3,575 or less, your weekly benefit rate is one twenty-fifth of your high quarter wages. Wages are applied to the quarter in which they are paid. The maximum rate is $405." You can finds links to the handbook and other New York unemployment resources at: http://click-for.info/unemployment/newyorkunemployment.html

Answer 2

Unemployment benefits vary by the state that you are in, the amount of time you were at your previous job, and the pay you received (among other factors). It is important to note that no everyone is eligible so before you attempt to calculate your unemployment benefits it may be wise to see if you will qualify in the first place! Also, unemployment beneficiaries only receive those payments if they are actively looking for work (proof is required) and will terminate upon getting a new job.
