How Much Money Will You Get In Unemployment Benefits If You Lose Your Job?

While the average unemployment check in the United States is $293, your benefits will vary widely depending on which state you live in.

The linked article includes a state-by-state list of maximum weekly benefits. The amounts vary dramatically, from $230 in Mississippi to $628 in Massachusetts.

Typically these benefits are paid for a maximum of 26 weeks but federal programs have extended coverage for an additional 20 weeks in all states and in some states the benefits have been extended for an additional 33 weeks.
