The amount of your weekly benefit is determined based upon how much you earned in the time period prior to filing. Generally, the amount you may be eligible to receive on a weekly basis is calculated based upon one twenty-sixth (1/26) of the average of total wages paid during the two highest quarters in the applicable base period.
However, there are exceptions to that. Please see the Claimant’s Guide for more information on those exceptions: A Guide to Collecting Benefits in Connecticut.
Additionally, you may also qualify for a dependency allowance of $15 per qualifying dependent for up to five qualifying dependents (for a maximum of $75 per week).
