      Oklahoma its based on last 18 months. But in Texas when I had to collect it. It was based on the life time of employment. I had like 20k in unemployment availabile to me. Since I had gone 10 years of employment before collecting. I didn’t get much think it was 200 a week. But according to the paper I could have collected that until the 20k was spent.

      Oklahoma no matter how long you work its 18 months. Which for me lasted 5 months.

      6 months is the most I’ve ever heard it paying out, regardless of the employment length. Since it’s the state paying it, there is just a “time period,” which for my state is 6 months for every qualified period…. Which appears to be 90 days of employment gets up to 6 months of unemployment (with the payment being based on salary). Hopefully I don’t find out.
