What is my weekly benefit amount (WBA)?
It varies. The minimum amount of benefits for an individual is $51 a week, and the maximum is $385 per week. Claimants with non-working spouses can receive up to $458 per week, and up to $531 a week with dependent children. However, your benefits depend on your unique circumstances. >> more on how benefits are determined • See an example of a Claimant “Wage Information Sheet” (your Wage Information Sheet is an important document; please keep it in a safe place) Note: Before any benefits can be paid on a new claim, you must serve a non-paid “waiting week”. Electronic payments made to eligible individuals are generally available within 2-3 business days of certification.
