As important as the max state benefits are the minimum state benefits.
E.g., in New York, at 15.7% with the second highest unemployment rate in the country, lots of bizarre constraints on regular unemployment: e.g., you have to make 150% of your highest quarter of regular employment in the four quarters they count in their calculations in order to get any unemployment at all. In regular situations, you’d be SOOL if you failed that test. Now if you fail, you can at least get kicked to PUA at $195 per week. That’s right. At diddly-squat.
Wisconsin is at least $390 wk, but after 8 weeks you have to do a documented job search and submit it before the check is sent
