In Portland right now? Yeah most of the types running around downtown all night are on unemployment.
Pandemic unemployment assistance is 1.25 base earnings to a min 205 maximum of 648 a week.
From the Portland info site:
"How much will I receive in PUA benefits and how is that determined?
The minimum PUA benefit is $205 per week. You could be eligible for an increased benefit amount between
$205 and $648 per week.
Your weekly benefit amount is 1.25 percent of your total base year earnings. It is net earnings for self-
employed workers, but gross earnings for other employees. Your payment will be at least the minimum
weekly benefit ($205) and no more than the maximum weekly benefit ($648) identified under PUA.
• If you are eligible for PUA, you will receive at least the minimum weekly benefit amount.
• To be eligible for a higher weekly benefit amount, you must:
o have earned more than $16,480 in the 2019 tax year, and
o provide proof of income for your most recently completed tax year (2019 for most people).
• You can use the form 196PUA to estimate how much you may be eligible to receive."
