Anyone furloughed living in WI lately? Just wondering how much unemployment I can expect to clear monthly. Thanks

Are you a resident of Wisconsin and were employeed outside the state of Wisconsin (a commuter) or are you a resident of WI and you worked/were based in WI?

When I was furlouged (the first time) I was a Wisconsin resident, but since I was based at ORD, the unemployment I received was actually from the state of Illinois. I called the state of WI, they took my information, and told me they would send the paperwork to Illinois for me. The whole process was pretty easy.

It's been 3 years now, I've forgotten how much my checks were, (percentage-wise of my income) but it wasn't much. I was fortunate to be able to move back in with my folks (no rent) and unemployment barely paid the bills.
