Does St. Albans have its own rule?
No. 21 V.S.A. § 1338; Vermont DOL applies across Vermont, so a claim from St. Albans 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
21 V.S.A. § 1338; Vermont DOL — Vermont Department of Labor — unemployment insurance. Vermont divides the two highest quarters by 45 — one of the most generous formulas in New England — capped at $705 for the current benefit year (recomputed each July).
