Michigan UIA - Unemployment Insurance Agency

UIA staff calculates how much you receive in unemployment benefits by multiplying the highest amount of wages paid to you in any base period quarter by 4.1%. The UIA adds $6 for each dependent you claim, up to five dependents. The weekly benefit amount is capped at $362. (The federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act has provided an extra $25 in weekly unemployment benefit payments for most programs through the end of 2009. The Federal Additional Compensation boosts the maximum weekly benefit in Michigan to $387.)

So... I'm guessing an FO at about $7,000 per quarter would get you $287/week + $25
