Unemployment insurance replaces part of the income you lose when you become unemployed. It is a benefit available to workers out of work through no fault of their own. Unemployment insurance softens the impact job losses have on communities by maintaining the purchasing power in the area where workers live.
The money for benefits comes from employers. No contributions for unemployment insurance come from employee wages.
Your benefit amount depends upon the work that you performed. The minimum benefit is $113 a week. The maximum weekly benefit you can receive is $482 a week.
