What's wrong? I hope you don't need it. If so, I am so terribly sorry.

Just checked Mississippi and it's only $230 a week. Monthly, that'll barely cover the mortgage much less insurance, car payment, and utilities. Eek!

it's less than $300/week here in GA....I read $335 is the maximum weekly benefit.
