weekly benefits
Seven-day financial assistance
Weekly benefits are payments made on a weekly basis, typically from government programs or insurance policies.
The term appears most often in unemployment and disability contexts, where recipients receive a fixed amount each week: Her weekly benefits barely covered rent.
The amount is usually calculated as a percentage of prior earnings, up to a maximum set by the state or policy.
