What is the maximum duration for receiving unemployment benefits in Rhode Island?

Asked a year ago
The maximum duration for receiving unemployment benefits in Rhode Island is 26 weeks. This duration is set by state law and is subject to change based on the unemployment rate and other economic factors. In certain situations, such as during periods of high unemployment, additional weeks of benefits may be made available through federal programs. However, currently, the standard maximum duration is 26 weeks. It is important to note that individuals must meet ongoing eligibility requirements, including actively seeking suitable employment and reporting any income earned during the benefit period. The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training provides resources and assistance to help individuals understand and navigate the unemployment insurance program.
