Under normal times, an individual can collect unemployment benefits for a maximum of 26 weeks. But after the recession, Congress passed the emergency benefit program to extend that duration to 73 weeks, although the exact length varied by state. Now, federal benefits have returned to their 26 week duration. Two states-Montana (28 weeks) and Massachusetts (30 weeks) - offer benefits for slightly longer. Some states offer them for less than 26 weeks. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities put together a map of the duration lengths for different states now that emergency benefits have expired.
As of January 2012, the duration of your benefits is dependent upon Floridaâs unemployment rate in the 3rd quarter of the previous year. The maximum length of time you can claim unemployment benefits is 26 weeks. If the unemployment rate is 5% or lower, you can claim benefits for up to 12 weeks. For every .5% increase in the unemployment rate above 5%, a week is added to the duration of benefits. Florida calculates the unemployment rate once a year on the third Friday of November.
