Frequently Asked Questions

How much will I get for unemployment in Rhode Island?
In Rhode Island, unemployment benefits are calculated at ~60% of average weekly wages. The maximum you can receive is $795 (with dependents: $993) per week for up to 26 weeks. Your actual amount depends on your wages during the base period — typically the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters.
How is workers’ comp calculated in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island workers’ compensation pays 75% of your average weekly wage for temporary total disability, up to a maximum of $2,076 per week. There is a 3-day waiting period before benefits begin — but this waiting period is paid retroactively if your disability lasts more than a certain number of days.
Can I collect UI and workers’ comp at the same time in Rhode Island?
Generally no — you cannot collect both at the same time. UI requires that you are able and available to work, which conflicts with workers’ comp temporary disability. However, if you recover from your injury and are then laid off, you may be able to transition to UI at that point.
