The standard most common time is receiving benefits for a total of 26 weeks.

The amount of money available varies pretty drastically by states.
voice-verified
They all have their own calculations.
voice-verified
So it's typically a portion of your previous income.
voice-verified
What the new stimulus bill that was passed last week does is it...
voice-verified
adds on an extra $600 to your regular unemployment benefit amount.
voice-verified
And that extra $600 will be applied in every single state.

So in normal times, Americans are generally eligible for unemployment benefits if they are laid off from their jobs.
voice-verified
But several states have adjusted eligibility requirements because of this.
voice-verified
The coronavirus, for instance, states expanded eligibility to include workers who don't have access to paid leave.
voice-verified
And the stimulus bill that Congress passed last week further expands eligibility to include employees.
voice-verified
People who typically can't access unemployment benefits, like people who are self-employed, those who are seeking part-time jobs, and independent contractors.
voice-verified
So think, you know, Uber drivers.
voice-verified
People who quit their jobs are typically in normal times not eligible for unemployment benefits.
voice-verified
And under the new stimulus bill, they also will not be eligible for unemployment insurance.
voice-verified
And then also those who are teleworking or are receiving paid sick leave are not eligible for unemployment benefits during this coronavirus pandemic.
voice-verified
People can apply for these benefits online or on the phone, but states are recommending that people apply online because that will be faster just given the volume of applications that states are having to deal with.
voice-verified
Each state has its own website to register for unemployment benefits.
voice-verified
You can access it just by Googling, you know, Georgia Labor Department unemployment benefits, and you can find it that way.
voice-verified
The duration of benefits varies by state, but the standard most common time is receiving benefits for a total of 26 weeks, though some states like North Carolina offer 12 weeks.
