On $2,250 a week in Rhode Island, about $777 in weekly benefits.

What shapes the award.

Weekly range

$82 to $777. Wage requirements still apply.

Duration

Up to 26 weeks under this program. The modeled benefit balance is $20,202.

Dependents

The state has a dependents rule. Qualifying relationships and limits apply; use the dependents input to model it.

Base period

First four of the last five completed calendar quarters before the new claim starts. An alternate or extended period may be available under the state’s conditions. Understand the quarters.

Benefit balance and dependents

The regular benefit balance excludes the dependency allowance. Eligible allowances are paid separately for weeks with a payable benefit; they do not shorten the duration shown.

Covered-wage requirements

Qualify with at least $19,200 in total covered wages, or meet all three ordinary tests: $3,200 in a quarter, $6,400 total and total wages at least 1.5 times the highest quarter. The $19,200 alternative can qualify one paid quarter. Repeat claims require $1,280 of covered wages since the preceding claim began.

Partial-week conditions

For less-than-full-time work, gross earnings must be strictly below 150% of the regular weekly rate. Ignore 50% of that rate rounded down to a dollar, then deduct excess wages and floor the regular payment. The dependent allowance is proportional to the partial regular payment and floored. The enacted June 19, 2026 extension keeps this temporary rule through June 30, 2029.

Duration conditions

The regular balance is the lesser of 33% of covered base-period wages or twenty-six regular weekly rates, floored to a dollar. Dependent allowances are paid in addition to that balance. A smaller final regular payment may exhaust credits; weeks displayed count that possible final payment.

Work registration

DLT registers Rhode Island residents and commuters for reemployment services when they file. Other claimants register with their resident state. Attend any mandatory RESEA appointment.

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.

Complete three qualifying activities each claimed week: at least one suitable job application and at least two other accepted search activities. Keep the work-search log for at least one year; only an agency-approved exception changes this requirement.

Taxes and the amount received.

UI is taxable income and DLT supplies Form 1099-G. Optional tax withholding can be changed during the claim; the estimate shows gross amounts before withholding and offsets.
