My company shut down a few months ago and I went through it.
It varies from state to state on what the max allowed is. In KY it is $355 or something and in Indiana I think I remember it being $328 weekly. It didn't make my bills even, so I had to dip into my savings. It was annoying as hell. Biweekly I had to call in to have another check dispursed. You get either a max time to collect (as in over 5 months) or a max amount. I had a max amount.
And if you do any work you HAVE to report it- they remind you of that a billion times because it is a crime not to- and they do deduct based on what you make.
Also, the base period they determine the amount you can get is not necessarily recent. I had a huge raise not too long before we shut down and since we shut down in April my base period was Jan-Dec 04- so I made a lot less then.
Unemployment blows.
