What the source says

WEEKLY BENEFIT AMOUNT. — An individual’s “weekly benefit amount” is an amount equal to one twenty-sixth of the total wages for insured work paid during that quarter of the base period in which the total wages paid were the highest, but not less than $32 or more than $275. The weekly benefit amount, if not a multiple of $1, is rounded downward to the nearest full dollar amount. The maximum weekly benefit amount in effect at the time the claimant establishes an individual weekly benefit amount is the maximum benefit amount applicable throughout the claimant’s benefit year. (4)  WEEKLY BENEFIT FOR UNEMPLOYMENT. — (a)  Total. — Each eligible individual who is totally unemployed in any week is paid for the week a benefit equal to her or his weekly benefit amount. (b)  Partial. — Each eligible individual who is partially unemployed in any week is paid for the week a benefit equal to her or his weekly benefit less that part of the earned income, if any, payable to her or him for the week which is in excess of 8 times the federal hourly minimum wage. These benefits, if not a multiple of $1, are rounded downward to the nearest full dollar amount. (5)  DURATION OF BENEFITS. — (a)  As used in this section, the term “Florida average unemployment rate” means the average of the 3 months for the most recent third calendar year quarter of the seasonally adjusted statewide unemployment rates as published by the Department of Commerce. (b)  Each otherwise eligible individual is entitled during any benefit year to a total amount of benefits equal to 25 percent of the total wages in his or her base period, not to exceed $6,325 or the product arrived at by multiplying the weekly benefit amount with the number of weeks determined in paragraph (c), whichever is less. However, the total amount of benefits, if not a multiple of $1, is rounded downward to the nearest full dollar amount. These benefits are payable at a weekly rate no greater than the weekly benefit amount. (c)  For claims submitted during a calendar year, the duration of benefits is limited to: 1.  Twelve weeks if this state’s average unemployment rate is at or below 5 percent. 2.  An additional week in addition to the 12 weeks for each 0.5 percent increment in this state’s average unemployment rate above 5 percent. 3.  Up to a maximum of 23 weeks if this state’s average unemployment rate equals or exceeds 10.5 percent.
