On $140,000 a year in New Hampshire, about $427 in weekly benefits.

What shapes the award.

Weekly range

$32 to $427. Wage requirements still apply.

Duration

Up to 26 weeks under this program. The modeled benefit balance is $11,102.

Dependents

No dependents allowance in this modeled regular benefit.

Base period

First four of the last five completed quarters before the benefit year begins. An alternate or extended period may be available under the state’s conditions. Understand the quarters.

Covered-wage requirements

At least two different base-period quarters must each contain $1,400 in covered wages. The minimum total is $2,800. NHES decides coverage, separation and each claimed week.

Partial-week conditions

Ordinary partial work must be below 37.5 hours per week. Round gross wages to the nearest dollar; those wages must be below the weekly rate. Disregard 30% of the weekly rate rounded to the nearest dollar, deduct the excess and round the benefit to the nearest dollar. Agency allocation of severance and special payments is outside this estimate.

Duration conditions

The statutory table gives an ordinary balance of twenty-six times the weekly rate. Partial claims draw smaller amounts from that balance within the benefit year. No extended or WorkShare benefits are added automatically.

Work registration

Register with NHES employment services and maintain your Job Match System information. Attend required local-office or reemployment appointments unless NHES grants an exception.

Before you count on it.

• Covered wages and employment are required.
• This checks only the modeled monetary rules. The agency also checks your employment history and other eligibility conditions.
• Separation, availability, work search and certification can affect payment.
• Tax withholding, offsets and agency adjustments can change the amount received.

This is a wage calculation and an informational screen. Your agency or insurer decides your claim.

Keeping the claim eligible.

Make an effective search for suitable work with multiple contacts on different days and by different methods. There is no single statutory contact count; follow any specific number assigned by the local office and keep records.

Taxes and the amount received.

Unemployment benefits are federally taxable. Review NHES withholding options and Form 1099-G; estimates are gross amounts before withholding and offsets.
