Can unemployment run out? On the bench and terrified that if I am laid off, the run on unemployment insurance will result in my state just running out of cash

We’re in unprecedented times. States have limits to unemployment (up-to 12 months).
Who knows what state economics will be if this continues for another few months.
You better join the RE-open movement...

Depends which state but they do have limits

Yes, but not for the reason you’ve listed. Unemployment benefits are paid out to a maximum. That maximum is based on how much you’ve contributed. How much you’ve contributed is mostly a factor of how long you’ve been a w2 employee and contributed to it every month.

Yes, unemployment insurance benefits are for a fixed duration. Look up your state's unemployment insurance benefit policy, as it varies from state to state.

That said, most states provide 26 weeks of UI, though a few provide fewer weeks (e.g. Florida provides 2 weeks, I believe). The Cares act added 13 weeks onto that.

Sorry I should've phrased it better, I am aware that benefits are terminal. Was moresoe wondering if it's possible for a state to literally run out of cash

Unlikely that they would ever run out of cash, they may just increase their deficits tho. Cant see a scenario where a state refuses to provide unemployment benefits due to lack of money.

Analogy would be the US govt which has trillions in debt but continues to provide benefits

Don’t believe states are allowed to run a deficit. Just the feds.
