Does Fremont have its own rule?
No. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 48-624; Nebraska DOL applies across Nebraska, so a claim from Fremont is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is which workforce office you deal with in person and how busy it is — not the weekly amount or the number of weeks.
