How much does unemployment pay in New York?

Answer 1

Unemployment benefits extended in the 2009 economic stimulus plan

Previously, unemployed workers were eligible for 26 weeks of unemployment benefits. As as result of this bill, unemployment benefits was extended by 20 weeks regardless of which state they live in. In some higher-unemployment states such as California, there will be another 13 weeks of unemployment benefits available as well.

Total weeks of unemployment available:

• Low-unemployment state - eligible for 46 weeks of benefits.
• High-unemployment state - eligible for 59 weeks of benefits.

Increased unemployment benefits by $25 per week.Although it varies from from state to state, the average unemployment benefit payout will be increased by $25 to about $325 per week.

Your claim lasts for one year, but the full amount is 26 times the weekly benefit amount, currently at $405 max.
