About Wyoming unemployment insurance
In Wyoming, the maximum weekly unemployment benefit is $595 and benefits can last up to 26 weeks. Your actual benefit amount depends on your wage history — 4% of high-quarter wages.
To qualify, you must have lost your job through no fault of your own (layoffs qualify; quitting or being fired for cause typically does not). You must be actively searching for work each week you claim benefits.
File as soon as possible after your last day — there is typically a 2–4 week processing delay between filing and receiving your first payment.
