UIB Weekly Benefit Amount
The weekly benefit amount of Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIB) is calculated by:
- Determining the base period Refer to Common-Place Handbook,“Determining the Base Period,” page 7-5.
- Determining the wage amount in the quarter of the base period with the highest earnings.
- Locate the highest quarter earnings amount on the chart below to find the corresponding weekly benefit amount.
- For a claim to be valid, a claimant must have at least $1,300 in earnings in one quarter (three month period) of the base period or at least $900 in earnings in the highest quarter, and total base period earnings of 1.25 times the high quarter earnings.
The claim has a “benefit year” which is the 52 week period beginning the day the claim is effective. In this year, weekly benefits may be paid for 26 weeks or until half of the base period wages have been received, whichever is less.
Normally, another claim cannot be filed until the initial claim's benefit year ends, even though all benefits have been received, the claimant is still unemployed, and the 52 week period has not ended. There is an exception to this general rule if California is granting extended benefits at the time.
