Does Greeley have its own rule?
No. C.R.S. § 8-73-102; Colorado CDLE applies across Colorado, so a claim from Greeley 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.
What the statute says
C.R.S. § 8-73-102; Colorado CDLE — Colorado Department of Labor and Employment — unemployment insurance. Colorado runs two calculations and pays the higher: this one (60% of the two-quarter average, capped at $767) or 55% of your whole-base-period average weekly wage, capped at $844 — the second usually wins only for steady yearlong earners near the top. Caps adjust each July.
