Also let me add something to that answer...

The MAXIMUM allowed for my state is $275 per week. That doesn't mean that every unemployed person in Tennessee gets $275 a week. Each person's compensation is based on their last rate of salary from the job they just left. The amount could range between $100 - $275. ~~~ Kathy

Unemployment is administered by the individual states. In New York State, it's based on a percentage of one's highest-earning quarter.

Yes, I always thought a country had a nation wide rate, seems it's a lottery for America depending on what state you live in.
