In Florida, your weekly benefit amount is calculated by dividing your total earnings for the highest paid quarter of the base period by 26, up to a current maximum of $275 per week. You can receive benefits for anywhere between 12 to 23 weeks, depending on Florida's current unemployment rate.
Known as Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC), these benefits are organized in tiers. They are provided in addition to the about 26 weeks in standard state unemployment benefits. States will, of course, vary in terms of how many weeks of unemployment they offer. Tier 1 for EUC is 14 extra weeks and is available for all states, regardless of how high your state's unemployment rate is.
