How much money will I receive in unemployment benefits?

The amount of money an individual will receive in unemployment benefits is determined by multiple factors. Primarily, it depends on the wages earned during a specific base period. In Idaho, this period is generally the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before filing a claim. The exact amount is calculated using a formula that considers the highest quarterly earnings during the base period. The maximum weekly benefit amount for Idaho unemployment benefits is currently $448. The actual benefit amount may further vary based on factors such as dependents and any additional weekly earnings an individual may have. It is important to note that each individual's circumstances are unique, and it is recommended to consult the Idaho Department of Labor for accurate and personalized information regarding unemployment benefit estimates.
