Oklahoma pays a flat 16 weeks — the shortest fixed entitlement in the country
Oklahoma's duration column reads simply 16. Not a range, not a formula tied to your work record: sixteen weeks for every claimant who qualifies. It is the shortest uniform entitlement in the federal table, ten weeks below the 26 most states treat as standard.
- 16 weeks, uniformly. The maximum benefit amount is simply 16 times the weekly benefit amount, with no base-period-wages limb to reduce it further and no route to extend it.
- The weekly range is $16 to $649. That $16 minimum is the lowest in the table by a considerable margin, while the $649 maximum sits comfortably above the national middle — an unusually wide spread.
- 1/23 of high-quarter wages. One of the more generous divisors, which is what lifts the ceiling despite the short duration.
- Qualifying has an unusual alternative: $1,500 and 1.5 times high-quarter wages, or any taxable wages at all provided total wages equal or exceed the taxable wage base for the year the claim was effective.
- Part-time work: a flat $100 is ignored.
