I know that a lot of people still call this the âcaveman diet,â but Paleo isnât about slavishly and mindlessly replicating the actual diets of Paleolithic humans. Okay, a few Paleo die-hards may approach their diets this way, but thatâs not the way I eat at all. In fact, there isnât just one definitive, monolithic, one-size-fits-all âPaleo diet.â
If you earned a total of $20,000 in those two quarters, you would multiply that amount by .47, then divide it by 26 to come up with a weekly amount: $361.54. The current maximum benefit in Illinois is $418, so you would be entitled to collect the full $361.54.
OK, So Let's Do The Numbers. With unemployment typically maxing out at 26 weeks and with some states paying up to $500 per week (even more in some states), you could collect as much as $13,000. The taxes owed on this income could be as much as $1,500 in federal taxes. Add state taxes and this debt could climb to as much as $2,000. With an average collection time of 24.5 weeks and average compensation of $300 per week, that's $7,350 income, or taxes owed of about $750 (about $1,000 when you include state income taxes).
