How long do unemployment benefits last in Kansas?
Unemployment benefits in Kansas last for a maximum of 26 weeks. This duration is commonly known as the "benefit year." Individuals who qualify for unemployment benefits in Kansas must meet certain criteria, including being unemployed due to no fault of their own, actively seeking work, and being able and available to work. It is crucial to note that the 26 weeks of benefits may not necessarily be paid consecutively. Factors such as eligibility, earnings, and the state's unemployment rate can affect the duration and availability of benefits. To ensure one receives the maximum possible assistance, it is strongly advised to promptly file for unemployment benefits online through the Kansas Unemployment Information Center's website.
