Get Claimant Handbook Georgia

You can only be paid for weeks during which you actively seek work. Unless the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) specifically exempts you under our law from this requirement, you are required to make a minimum of three new reportable job contacts each week.

Georgia regulations allow claimants to receive up to 26 weeks of UI benefits. Eligible claimants will receive a weekly benefit amount ranging from $55 to $365 per week, based on their previous earnings.

If you were fired from your job, you will not be able to draw benefits if your former employer can show that you were fired for failure to follow rules, orders, or instructions, or for misconduct on the job.

You must submit your appeal within 30 days of the mailed date on the Notice of Overpayment or the Notice of Denial of Benefits and Overpayment. You can download the Appeal Form (DE 1000M) (PDF) or use the copy included with the overpayment notice.
