The base period is set by law and will not change during the life of your unemployment claim. Your base period earnings determine the number of weeks ranging from 12 to 26 that you may receive benefits. If you qualify monetarily, your claim remains in effect for one year. This period is called a benefit year.
You can get up to a total of 99 weeks of benefits in Georgia through State and Federal benefit programs. Initially, you will file a regular unemployment claim with the State of Georgia which will cover you for up to 26 weeks. Following that, you can apply for 4 tiers of Federal extensions. Since Georgia has an unemployment rate of 10% which is higher than 6% they qualify for Tier III and with an unemployment rate higher than 8.5% they qualify for Tier IV. Tier I provides 20 weeks, Tier II 14 weeks, Tier III 13 weeks and Tier IV 6 weeks.
