In Florida, your weekly benefit amount is calculated by dividing your total earnings for the highest paid quarter of the base period by 26, up to a current maximum of $275 per week. You can receive benefits for anywhere between 12 to 23 weeks, depending on Florida's current unemployment rate.
Depending on the state, there are also minimal levels of earnings required over the 12-month period in order to be eligible for receiving unemployment benefits. While unemployment benefits may cover up to 50% of your earned wages, most states also have established a cap on how much you can receive.Meaning, if 50% of your wages is an amount over the maximum benefits, then you will not receive 50%.herefore, the question is not only about how long you have to work to be eligible to receive unemployment, but it is also about how much you have to of earn during that time to qualify for unemploymentâ¦.
