I was making $52K and I get $307/week after they withhold the taxes. I'm having the taxes withheld bc DH works some freelance jobs that we have to put $ aside for in taxes and I can't handle thinking about doing it for the unemployment as well. I will say I am amazed at how easy the whole process has been. I am discouraged at how many people seem to be applying for the same handful of jobs.

The tax is pretty low--5% DC income, 10% Federal income. I'm not bothering with witholding--I'll take it as an interest-free loan.

Don't forget that unemployment income is taxable, and be sure to fill out the proper withholding form. Otherwise you will be stuck with a big tax bill early next year!

Right, but what does that mean? Would I, at $45k, be eligible for the maximum? PP who got $324 PER MONTH seems to suggest that no, I'd be getting a quarter of that.

You'd be surprised. I think it's even less in VA.

Live and work in DC. $300 and change a month is pretty scary to contemplate. Not only that, but if I hear one more person bitch about how all us slackers on unemployment are sucking the system dry, I might scream. 12% of my former monthly income? Yeah, that's worth it. *sigh*

Is your job in DC, or in MD or VA? Unemployment insurance is handled by the state where you last worked, rather than where you live.

The website says payments range from $25 to $300 a week, depending on salary, but I couldn't find anything that says what the corresponding salary range is. I make $45k a year. Do they look only at salary, or also at living expenses and other sources of income (like spouse's salary)? Again, I couldn't find this info on the website, so would appreciate the BTDT perspective.


I was making about what you are and I receive $324/month. It will be more or less this depending on how many deductions you take. They only look at salary.
