Virginia Unemployment Boosts July 5 | Roanoke News

Virginia unemployment benefits are getting a boost starting July 5th—weekly max payouts jump from $430 to $478, and the minimum rises from $112 to $160. This change helps job seekers cover essentials, but only applies to new claims filed on or after that date. Lawmakers debate long-term trust sustainability, while advocates argue the extra cash is vital for struggling families. Employers won’t pay more than $25 per worker annually, and the costs won’t come from the state’s general fund. Don’t wait—file before July 5th if you’re eligible.
