Indiana pays a flat 26 weeks but caps the total unusually tightly
Indiana's duration column reads simply 26 — a uniform entitlement rather than a range that scales with work history. The constraint that actually binds most Indiana claims is the money cap sitting behind it.
- The total is the lesser of 28% of base-period wages or 26 times the weekly amount. That 28% figure is among the lowest in the country; states more commonly use a third or a half of base-period wages. For many claimants the dollar cap is reached well before the twenty-sixth week.
- 47% of your average weekly wage across the base period. Indiana states a replacement target directly rather than using a quarterly divisor, and it measures across the whole base period rather than a peak quarter.
- The weekly range is $37 to $390. The $37 floor is one of the lowest minimums in the federal table.
- Qualifying has three thresholds: 1.5 times high-quarter wages, at least $2,500 in the last two quarters, and not less than $4,200 across the base period.
- Part-time work: a flat $100 is ignored, and every employer is covered regardless of payroll size.

The report states it is not an official interpretation of state UI laws, so treat these provisions as a cross-check on the Department of Workforce Development determination rather than a replacement for it.
