Indiana unemployment benefits
A point-in-time summary of the weekly amount, potential duration, earnings disregard, and filing source.
The DOL Significant Provisions table effective January 1, 2026 lists Indiana’s weekly benefit range as $390, with a published maximum of $390. When the raw cell contains a range, the higher number can include the maximum dependents’ allowance. A claimant’s payment is calculated from covered wages and state rules; it is not automatically the maximum.
The table describes monetary eligibility as: 1½ x HQW totaling at least $2,500 in last 2 qtrs; not less than $4,200 in BP Its weekly benefit calculation is: 47% of AWW in BP These are compact statutory summaries. The state agency evaluates wage records, separation, availability, work search, identity, and continuing weekly eligibility under current law.
Potential duration is shown as 26, interpreted here as up to 26 weeks. Some states use a variable schedule tied to base-period wages or unemployment conditions. The federal DOL footnote says the table excludes additional weeks that may be available in limited circumstances, so this page does not add extensions or special programs.
For partial employment, the table’s earnings-disregard field reads: $100 That rule can affect how earnings reduce a weekly benefit, but it does not remove the duty to report work and wages. Use the state filing system for the reporting period and instructions that apply to the claim.
Prepare employer names, work dates, wage information, separation details, identity documents, and contact information before filing. Use Department of Labor rather than a paid filing intermediary. The listed timing field is “not available” because LaborBrief found no single verified state timing figure suitable for publication; processing depends on claim facts and agency operations.
