unemployment compensation?

Question

what is the percentage you recieve from your regular pay once you go unemployment compensation?

Answer 1

It depends on which state your former employer is in. The percentage could be as low as 40% and as high as 80% or more depending on the state regulations but there is always a maximum benefit cap in effect, too; people who are working at a decent wage before they become unemployed usually only get a fraction of their regular pay because most state benefit caps are around $1200/month neighborhood.
