Um no. I've never been on unemployment, but I looked into it once when I was laid off.

The max FL unemployment per week is $275.

That is for anyone and everyone.

I don't know how many people can live on that. (which is exactly the purpose, I'm sure)

I kinda remember hearing about this max limit. But I like the half of your current paycheck answer better because that's not shit compared to what I'm making now. Looks like I'm going to be eating lots of pasta soon.

I think it is half your current paycheck, UP TO $275 a week.

so if you are like me, and currenlty only making $320 a week before takes, I could only qualify to get $160 a week.

No offense Philip but your bills are way under mine too though. With the max amount I'm still fucked with bills. Though I can eat.

oh yeah, I know I'm living pretty low cost right now. Just illustrating the unemployment laws.

Hell, the most I've ever made, not counting overtime, was $475/wk. My bills were higher back then though, so shit was pretty tight, but I was roughly comfortable.

I've been having many discussions lately about how I need to remember how I lived in the 90s, before I was spoiled by the big paycheck. I'm never going back to no A/C in the Summer though, ugh. But I lived off hardly anything back then.

Maybe I better garden again, stop eating like crap and cook more, and start lots more bartering of goods. Too bad I can't barter to pay my mortgage though.

update:

Atlas isn't refilling the position until the new year, but I just heard that Silkmasters lost their screen guy if anyone is still looking..

unemployment sucks, its max 275 a week or half your paycheck correct. but you only get it every 2 weeks and you have to call or use the internet to claim your weeks everytime. and when you start it you have to wait two weeks that are considered a waiting period before you can get your first check so basically it takes a month to get your first check.
