1/2 your pay split equally between them ie.....if your check is for $1800 and you have 3 kids, they split $900 between them so $300 each. When the oldest is 18 then the younger 2 would get $450 each til the next turns 18, then the youngest gets the $900.
Your total family benefit can't be more than 80% of what you used to make. In my case, my kids get less because I still had WC income so that counts toward the 80% cap. If you are young or don't have a long work history, your check might still be decent, but the family benefit could be lower, so the kids might get less then also.
