Currently, the maximum amount of unemployment benefit you can receive whilst residing in the state of Louisiana is $258 a week.

The minimum amount is $10 a week, but it is likely that you'll receive something in-between these figures, depending on your financial situation.

How much unemployment benefit can I claim in Louisiana?
The way that your unemployment insurance benefit figure is worked out is pretty simple.

The state will base the amount they pay you on something called a 'base period' - a time when you were in employment and receiving weekly wages.

To apply for unemployment benefits, all you need to do is to go to a Job Center with the following documentation:

  • One form of photo ID
  • Your social security number
  • A comprehensive list of any employers you worked for during the last 18 months (make sure to include names, locations and contact details).
