In the UK, depends how old you are + which type of unemployment benefit you signed up for.
For instance the past year or so (at 27yrs old) I've been getting £114.90 every 2 weeks, while as I turn 28 tomorrow (just would be on Signing-on @ the job centre day) from April 11th it'll go up to £118.30 every 2 weeks (YIPPEE!!!!).
And now got to wait longer to be paid it after a few yrs ago they switched from cashing a GIRO cheque at the Post Office (used to be sign on Tuesday, get the cheque in the mail before Thursday lunchtime) to direct payment into bank accounts (still sign on a Tuesday, but doesn't usually show in my account until Friday).

It depends....how much were you making before? It maxes out (I'm sure it depends on the state you live in). Plus you get to choose if you want taxes taken out or not (you do owe them - pay upfront or pay at tax time next year). If I recall correctly, it was just over $300/week that it maxxed out at. But again, you may not be making enough to max it out.

Andrew D's spam was very unusual. Unrelated spam.
Most people get 480 a week, which is as high as it goes. edd.org has a chart based on your quarterly pay. It is roughly 50% of your regular pay.
