Read the limits in context.

The table shows the modeled base cap, without dependents, extended benefits or case-specific offsets. A maximum is reached only when the wage formula and eligibility rules allow it. Duration can be shorter when a wage-based benefit balance runs out.

Use a state page to compare the formula at your actual pay. For workers’ compensation, confirm the injury date. For leave, confirm the selected program and qualifying reason.
