Unemployment benefits in Indiana

Your total base-period wages divided by 52, multiplied by 0.47, rounded down to the nearest dollar. The minimum weekly benefit is $50, and the maximum is $390. Duration runs until the maximum benefit amount (26× the weekly rate) is exhausted. The $50 minimum is secondary-sourced — neither DWD page fetched directly stated a minimum dollar figure.

Up to 26 weeks, the standard duration most states pay.

The standard base period: your wages in the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before you filed your claim.

$390 a week is the most Indiana pays, before any deductions you elect such as tax withholding or child support. Most claimants receive less, because the weekly amount is calculated from your own base-period wages: Your total base-period wages divided by 52, multiplied by 0.47, rounded down to the nearest dollar.

This page does not model payment dates. Timing is set by Indiana's own unemployment agency rather than by the benefit formula, and normally depends on when your weekly or biweekly claim is filed and processed rather than on a fixed calendar day. What this page does model is how much you are owed and for how long, both traced to the sources listed below.
