FOOTNOTES FOR TABLE 21
1. In states with weighted tables, the percent is figured at the bottom end of the highest wage brackets. In some states, the percentages at other brackets are different from the percentage shown. In Alaska, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota: duration is based on specified ratios of base period wages to high-quarter wages. Iowa: if laid off due to employer going out of business, ½ of base period wages up to 39 weeks. Pennsylvania: duration corresponds to number of credit weeks earned during the base year. A credit week is a week in the base year in which the claimant was paid remuneration of at least $100.00. Example: 18 credit weeks = 18 weeks of benefits. 20 credit weeks = 20 weeks of benefits. Virginia: duration is based on specified ratios of base period earnings to two high quarter earnings. 2. Only specified amount of wages per quarter may be used to compute duration of benefits; lesser of 1/3 base period
wages (not to exceed 1/3 of 26 x max. WBA per quarter) or in: Colorado: 26 x max. WBA; Indiana: based on 2011 legislation, Indiana’s method of computing benefit amounts will change for any initial claims filed for any week beginning on or after July 1, 2012. Missouri: 26 x claimant’s WBA; Pennsylvania: WBA is ½ of maximum or more, (when fund balance ratio 50% or less) the combined WBA and allowance is reduced by 1.7% but not below ½ of maximum, unless other deductions apply.
3. Alaska: pays supplemental state benefits if a claimant meets all requirements for the Federal-State EB program except for the additional earnings. In the following states, benefits are extended when unemployment reaches specified levels in, California: by 50%; Connecticut, Hawaii: by 13 weeks; Massachusetts: maximum number of weeks drops to 26 during periods of federal extended benefits, and regular duration may be extended up to 18 weeks for claimants certified as attending a vocational retraining course approved by the agency; Maine: up to 26 weeks for dislocated workers in approved training; Michigan: regular duration may be extended up to 18 weeks for claimants certified as attending a vocational retraining course approved by the agency. New Hampshire: when TUR is 8.0% or more the extended benefits program increases from 13 to 20 payable weeks. New York: up to 104 effective days of additional benefits to claimants attending approved training. District of Columbia: claimant who has exhausted regular and extended benefits enrolled in and making satisfactory progress in approved training under WIA eligible for training extension benefits not to exceed 26 times the claimant’s WBA of the most recent benefit year.
4. Arizona, California, Delaware, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania: have established special programs for dislocated workers which include job search assistance and job training. None of these programs (except Maine) is funded from the states’ unemployment funds.
5. Illinois: maximum potential benefits could be higher because the full dependents’ allowance is paid for each week of partial unemployment, but may not exceed base period earnings.
6. Massachusetts: HQ amount is required with earnings in two or fewer quarters, or as the average of the two highest quarters with earnings in three quarters or more.
7. Connecticut: average of two highest quarters. Georgia: the sum of two highest quarters. Virginia: earnings for two quarters instead of one high quarter.
8. North Carolina: result is rounded to nearest whole number.
9. New York: after receiving 13 weeks of benefits — if claimant is offered a job that pays at least 80% of their previous high quarter wages in their base period, as well as the prevailing rate for similar jobs in that locality, claimant will be required to accept employment, which he/she is capable of performing, even if not suited for the position by training or experience.
10. Wisconsin: 4 weeks for certain family member employees of a family business.
11. Louisiana: for extended benefits $3,211 is maximum and is based on a MWBA of $247 and MBA of $6,422. Total EB is the least of (1) 50% of total UI, (2) 13 x WBA, or (3) 39 x WBA less UI.
12. New Jersey: if claim eligibility is based on the alternate earnings test, minimum weeks can be as few as 1.
13. Pennsylvania: claimant will be ineligible for benefits unless 49.5% of total base year wages are paid in one or more quarters outside the high quarter.
14. Washington: average of two high quarters must equal $15,689. 15. New Mexico: includes dependents.
16. Rhode Island: effective July 1, 2012, the maximum amount an individual can collect is 33% of the total base period wages subject to a maximum of 26 weeks. HQ amount is based on the average earnings in the two highest quarters. 17. Florida: effective January 1, 2012, the maximum UC duration period decreased to a variable maximum duration,
depending on the state unemployment rate and ranging from 12 weeks up to 23 weeks. Up to 12 weeks will be available if the state unemployment rate is 5% or less. Each 0.5% increase in the state unemployment rate above 5% will add an additional week of UC benefit duration. Finally, up to 23 weeks of regular UC benefits will be available if the state unemployment rate is at least 10.5%.
All states provide for the payment of unemployment
benefits when underemployment reaches a certain
level. In most states, a worker is partially unemployed during a week of less than full-time work if earnings from the regular employer (or odd-job earnings) are
less than the weekly benefit amount. In some states, a
claimant is partially unemployed during a week of less
than full-time work when less than the weekly benefit
amount, plus an allowance, is earned from odd-jobs or any other source.
As shown in Table 22, the amount of benefits for
a week of partial unemployment is usually the week-
ly benefit amount less wages earned during the week, plus a specified allowance. In some states, if the ben-
efit for a week of partial unemployment is not an even dollar amount, the benefit may be rounded to the near- est or next higher dollar. For example, in a state with a
$50 allowance and rounding to the next higher dollar, a claimant with a $500 weekly benefit and earnings of $100.95 would receive a partial benefit of $450.
