Each state has its own formula for determining your weekly benefit amount: how much money you will receive each week as your unemployment benefit. Typically, your weekly benefit amount is some percentage of your earnings during the entire base period or the quarter of the base period in which you were paid the most. 

You can look up your weekly benefit amount in Tennessee's Employment Security Law, Tennessee Code section 50-7-301.
