Have you read the handbook linked, earlier? CA will not pay more than 50% of your base period earnings. In order to qualify for a 26 week benefit of $377, your total base period earnings need to be $19,604 ($377 x 26 x 2).
Your base period wages are only $9,800, which means the most CA pays is $4,900 (50%x$9,800), divided by your WBA of $377, which translates to about 13 weeks.
Read the handbook linked below.

Your wages of $9,800 qualify you for a monetary award of $4,900, with a weekly benefit of $377, paid over 13 weeks. Since you are applying so close to the end of a quarter, check your notice of monetary award when you get it to be sure ALL your March wages are in that quarter. CA's database may or may not be up-to-date and you may need to provide proof of wages if it isn't.
