Yeah, I think the way I have read is most claims will hit max payout in 16 weeks, not that 16 weeks is the max.The law used to be 26 weeks but was changed to 16 weeks but in SOME cases they may get 26. Coincidentally there isn’t a payment the 1st week.
Edit: your website is false. Try going directly to Iowa Workforce Development website. I knew this law change because I personally was at the capital fighting against the change.
But I have seen that the max is almost double what that site said. Its a year old so I am sure some of it is out of date, and some is more complicated than just straight maximums.
But I dont think many if any state is really that much different than Iowa. None are really doing much in that regard.
