Unemployment Benefits

The maximum amount of unemployment benefits in Wisconsin is $363 per week while the minimum is $54. The Related Link below also shows how much you can earn while receiving each week's range of benefits.

I heard about 2 weeks, maybe 3 if your prior employer contests or an issue arises.

In Illinois, you have to work for your employer for 30 days in order for that employer to be chargeable for unemployment benefits in the event you become unemployed. Whether or not you are eligible for benefits is up to the Illinois Department of Employment Security to determine.

At least Bush did something right for a change since the economy is so bad right now and so many people in so many ways are suffering. Good luck to everyone and hopefully the situation will get better soon. Hope this info helps many in need.

The question is how many times did you call out? If this was a single occurence then the department of unemployment will likely see the termination as unreasonable and grant you unemployment. If however it was several occasions and a violation of the company's attendance policy it may be a little more difficult to collect but you would need to file the claim and see what happens.

No. You can't get SSA's disability benefits unless you can prove you can't work, which would make you ineligible for the state's unemployment benefit.

You can't collect unemployment in New York if you are out on strike, for 49 days. You can collect it sooner if: 1) the labor dispute ends and you're still unemployed, or 2) the employer hires a replacement worker. See the Related Link below, the Handbook, page 11, item *3, for more details.

Yes, but it is possible that Texas MAY deduct from your unemployment benefits that portion of your 401k that was contributed by the employer. Check the Related Link below and the Texas 'office to determine their criteria.

If you don't believe that you are at fault for the termination, file for unemployment and if they deny it, appeal. One of my relatives went through this situation. She was wrongfully terminated resulting in unemployment being denied when she filed. She appealed the unemployment decision, when they contacted her former employer, they couldn't find where she had been written up or had negative info added to her HR file. She was able to receive unemployment for over a year until she found a new job.

26 weeks of unemployment benefits which can be spaced out over a year (like if you have a temp job for a few weeks and then go back to unemployment). This can be followed by 33 weeks of "Emergency unemployment benefits" and that is followed by about 20? weeks of "Extended Benefits" unemployment benefits. Once you get past the initial regular unemployment benefits, you may need to report your work search efforts in their format every month to continue to get benefits. If you are able to collect COBRA with the ARRA benefits, these get impacted as you switch from regular to emergency to extended. There are also career search services and educational grants and exemptions you can get. Google New York State unemployment assistance to get the website / the right area and look at FAQs. Make sure you read the actual regulations because in my experience, the representatives give you wrong info on the phone. Whether you live in NYS or not makes a difference on how long benefits last and whether you can get more than 2 weeks extended benefits.

Indiana is one of the states that repealed Social Security offset regulations that reduced unemployment compensation for people who were claiming both benefits.

I believe this answer is slightly incorrect -- "Yes, you can. Under "Non monetary Issues" > "Disqualifications" item (f) on page 5 of the Related Link below, Social Security benefits are excluded from the disqualifying chargeable benefits you receive."

In illinois, half a person's weekly social security payment is deducted from that person's weekly unemployment check. Illinois AARP has made repealing the social security offset law a priority.
