# §336.3. Duration of normal sickness benefits.


The duration of normal sickness benefits is the same as the duration of normal unemployment benefits, as set forth in [§ 336.2](/cfr/20/336.2.md) of this part. A qualified employee who has satisfied the benefit year waiting period and is otherwise eligible for sickness benefits may receive benefits for a maximum of 130 days of sickness within a benefit year, but the amount paid as sickness benefits may not exceed the amount of the employee's base year compensation, as computed under [§ 336.4](/cfr/20/336.4.md) of this part.
