I would check with the unemployment office, as rules vary from place to place. My first instinct would say whatever you averaged over the last 3-6 months.

Depending on your state, it doesn't matter how many hours you worked. They base your unemployment benefits by how much you earned over the last four quarters of a year that you worked. The more you earned, the better benefits you get. Matter not the hours.

I believe you would put in your typical number of hours.  I also believe you will be able to claim overtime elsewhere on the form.
