For example, a state may allow an individual who was previously injured on the job, and who has collected workers\u2019 compensation benefits prior to filing for unemployment benefits, to establish eligibility for unemployment insurance benefits by using wages earned and employment worked before the date of the individual\u2019s injury. (Note that some state laws may describe these base-periods as \u201calternative\u201d base-periods.) The following table details the alternative and extended base periods states use in addition to the regular base-period."} -{"table_id": "3-2", "question": "Given the description above, what is the qualifying formula for base-period wages and employment required for unemployment benefits in South Dakota?", "answer": {"state": "SD", "qualifying_formula": "$728 in HQ and 20 x WBA outside HQ", "high_quarter_minimum": 728, "base_period_minimum": 1288}, "prompt_context": "QUALIFYING WAGES OR EMPLOYMENT\u2014Within the base-period, all states require an individual to have earned a certain amount of wages, worked for a certain period of time, or both, to be monetarily eligible to receive benefits. \nMost individuals qualify for benefits based on employment and wages in a single state. However, some individuals work in more than one state and may not have sufficient employment and wages in a single state to establish monetary eligibility. Additionally, some individuals could qualify for a higher weekly benefit amount if wages from multiple states are considered. In both of these situations, individuals may file a combined wage claim (CWC). In a CWC, wages and length of employment from multiple states may be combined in order to establish monetary eligibility or to increase a weekly benefit amount. The individual with wages in more than one state may file the claim in either state. Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters.

Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters. Additionally, some states have weighted schedules that require varying multiples for varying weekly benefits. \nFlat Qualifying Amount\u2014Under this method, individuals must earn a specified dollar amount of total wages during the base period. \nWeeks/Hours of Employment\u2014Under this method, individuals must work a specified number of weeks or hours at a certain wage rate during the base-period. \nThe following table provides information on the qualifying formulas for each state.

The individual with wages in more than one state may file the claim in either state. Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters. Additionally, some states have weighted schedules that require varying multiples for varying weekly benefits. \nFlat Qualifying Amount\u2014Under this method, individuals must earn a specified dollar amount of total wages during the base period. \nWeeks/Hours of Employment\u2014Under this method, individuals must work a specified number of weeks or hours at a certain wage rate during the base-period. \nThe following table provides information on the qualifying formulas for each state.

Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters. Additionally, some states have weighted schedules that require varying multiples for varying weekly benefits. \nFlat Qualifying Amount\u2014Under this method, individuals must earn a specified dollar amount of total wages during the base period. \nWeeks/Hours of Employment\u2014Under this method, individuals must work a specified number of weeks or hours at a certain wage rate during the base-period. \nThe following table provides information on the qualifying formulas for each state.

Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters. Additionally, some states have weighted schedules that require varying multiples for varying weekly benefits. \nFlat Qualifying Amount\u2014Under this method, individuals must earn a specified dollar amount of total wages during the base period. \nWeeks/Hours of Employment\u2014Under this method, individuals must work a specified number of weeks or hours at a certain wage rate during the base-period. \nThe following table provides information on the qualifying formulas for each state.

Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters. Additionally, some states have weighted schedules that require varying multiples for varying weekly benefits. \nFlat Qualifying Amount\u2014Under this method, individuals must earn a specified dollar amount of total wages during the base period. \nWeeks/Hours of Employment\u2014Under this method, individuals must work a specified number of weeks or hours at a certain wage rate during the base-period. \nThe following table provides information on the qualifying formulas for each state.

Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters. Additionally, some states have weighted schedules that require varying multiples for varying weekly benefits. \nFlat Qualifying Amount\u2014Under this method, individuals must earn a specified dollar amount of total wages during the base period. \nWeeks/Hours of Employment\u2014Under this method, individuals must work a specified number of weeks or hours at a certain wage rate during the base-period. \nThe following table provides information on the qualifying formulas for each state.

Because of the potential of establishing more than one benefit year in more than one state, federal regulations stipulate that employment and wages transferred from one state to a second state for use in establishing a CWC cannot be used again to establish monetary eligibility on a different benefit year. \nMethods of Qualifying\u2014The methods that states use to determine monetary eligibility vary greatly and generally include one or more of the following methods: multiple of high-quarter wages, multiple of weekly benefit amount, flat qualifying amount, and weeks/hours of employment. \nMultiple of High-Quarter Wages\u2014Individuals must earn a certain dollar amount in the quarter of their base-period with the highest earnings and earn total base-period wages that are a multiple of the high-quarter wages (typically 1\u00bd). For example, if an individual earns $5,000 in the high-quarter, the individual must earn another $2,500 in the rest of the base-period so that total base-period wages equal $7,500. \nMultiple of Weekly Benefit Amount\u2014The state agency will first compute the individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. See Table 3-5, Weekly Benefit Amounts. During the base period, the individual must have earned an amount equal to or greater than a specified multiple of the weekly benefit amount in order to establish monetary eligibility. For example, if an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount is $100 and the state requires base-period earnings equal to 40 times the weekly benefit amount, the individual will need earnings of $4,000 during the base period to qualify. Under this method, most states also require the individual to have earned wages in at least two base-period quarters. Additionally, some states have weighted schedules that require varying multiples for varying weekly benefits. \nFlat Qualifying Amount\u2014Under this method, individuals must earn a specified dollar amount of total wages during the base period. \nWeeks/Hours of Employment\u2014Under this method, individuals must work a specified number of weeks or hours at a certain wage rate during the base-period. \nThe following table provides information on the qualifying formulas for each state.

Some states replace approximately 50 percent of individuals\u2019 lost wages up to a certain limit (generally some percentage of the average weekly wage in the state). As a result of this cap, states tend to replace income at a higher percentage for low-wage earners than they do for high-wage earners. Several states also provide dependents\u2019 allowances to provide an additional payment based on the individual having dependents. All states round weekly benefits to an even dollar amount. States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

Several states also provide dependents\u2019 allowances to provide an additional payment based on the individual having dependents. All states round weekly benefits to an even dollar amount. States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living.

This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living.

Several states also provide dependents\u2019 allowances to provide an additional payment based on the individual having dependents. All states round weekly benefits to an even dollar amount. States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters.

Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period.

Several states also provide dependents\u2019 allowances to provide an additional payment based on the individual having dependents. All states round weekly benefits to an even dollar amount. States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period.

States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings.

Several states also provide dependents\u2019 allowances to provide an additional payment based on the individual having dependents. All states round weekly benefits to an even dollar amount. States determine eligibility for benefits weekly. Generally, a week of unemployment is considered to be Sunday through Saturday. METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23). Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a greater proportion of the high-quarter wages to lower-paid individuals than to those earning more. Multi-Quarter Method (MQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated as a multiple of the total or average quarterly wages paid across multiple quarters. This approach is viewed as being more likely to reflect an individual\u2019s usual employment pattern since it surveys a greater period of time rather than just focusing on the quarter with highest earnings. Annual-Wage Method (AW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of annual wages in the base- period. This approach reflects the view that annual wages determine the individual\u2019s standard of living. Some states use a weighted schedule, which gives a larger proportion of annual wages to lower-paid individuals to determine their weekly benefit amount, while other states use a flat percentage. Weekly-Wage Method (WW)\u2014The weekly benefit is calculated as a percentage of the individual\u2019s average weekly wages in the base-period. The following table provides information on how states calculate weekly benefit amounts, as well as the minimum and maximum amounts available in that respective states.

METHODS OF COMPUTING WEEKLY BENEFITS\u2014As with qualifying wages, states utilize a variety of methods to determine an individual\u2019s weekly benefit amount. High-Quarter Method (HQ)\u2014The weekly benefit amount is calculated by looking at wages in the quarter with the highest earnings in the base period. This quarter is viewed as the period most closely reflecting total employment for the individual during the base-period. By dividing this amount by 13 (the number of weeks in a calendar quarter) the average weekly wage is calculated. Based on the state\u2019s wage replacement rate, the weekly wage is then divided and the weekly benefit amount is calculated. For example, an individual who earns $2,600 in the high-quarter has an average weekly wage of $200 a week ($2,600 divided by 13). If the state replaces \u00bd of the average weekly earnings, the weekly benefit amount is $100. To simplify the calculations, states will use the \u201coverall\u201d multiple of the high-quarter wages to calculate the weekly benefit amount. In this example, it would be 1/26 of the high-quarter wages (1/13 multiplied by .5). The most common multiple used by states is 1/26 of the high-quarter wages. Alternatively, states that use this method may calculate the benefit as a percentage of high-quarter wages. Because even the quarter of highest earnings may include some periods of unemployment, some states use a fraction to generate a higher weekly benefit amount (e.g., 1/23).

In others, it is more severe when the individual is convicted (see Table 6-3). In a few states, the disqualification is not imposed unless the individual is convicted. In other states, the individual is not subject to an administrative disqualification if penal procedures have been undertaken or if the benefits are being or have been recovered. \nSome states include a statutory limitation on the period within which a disqualification for fraudulent misrepresentation may be imposed (see states with footnote 3 in Table 5-10). The length of the disqualification period varies but is usually a year. In a few states, the disqualification period runs from the date of the offense to the filing of a claim for benefits. In these states, the disqualification can be imposed only if the individual files a claim for benefits within two years of the date of the fraudulent act. In many states, the penalty for disqualification for fraud or misrepresentation is more severe than the ordinary disqualification provisions. \nSome disqualifications start with the date of the fraudulent act, while others begin with the discovery of the act, the determination of fraud, the date on which the individual is notified to repay the sum so received, or the date of conviction by a court. Some begin with the filing of a first claim, while others are for weeks that would otherwise be compensable. \nAs the following table shows, the cancellation of wage credits in many states means the denial of benefits for the current benefit year or longer. A disqualification for a year means that wage credits will have expired, in whole or in part, depending on the end of the benefit year and the amount of wage credits accumulated for another benefit year before the fraudulent act. Thus, future benefits are reduced as if there had been a provision for cancellation. In other states with discretionary provisions or shorter disqualification periods, the same result will occur for some individuals. \nIn many states, as noted in the table below, the agency may deny benefits until the benefits obtained through fraud are repaid although some states impose a time limit for the denial. \nIn some states, an individual may qualify after a specified period of time and repayment is made through an offset of the benefits."} -{"table_id": "5-10", "question": "Given the description above, what is the duration of disqualification for unemployment compensation fraud and misrepresentation in Kentucky?", "answer": {"state": "KY", "duration_of_disqualification": "Unreported earnings: W + additional weeks based on amount of unreported earnings (up to 52 W); nondisclosure of info other than wages: W + 26", "benefits_reduced_or_canceled": true}, "prompt_context": "DISQUALIFICATION FOR UC FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION \nIn addition to monetary penalties and prosecution, an individual committing fraud when applying for UC may also be disqualified from receiving benefits. \nIn a few states there is a more severe disqualification when the fraudulent act results in payment of benefits.

In other states with discretionary provisions or shorter disqualification periods, the same result will occur for some individuals. \nIn many states, as noted in the table below, the agency may deny benefits until the benefits obtained through fraud are repaid although some states impose a time limit for the denial. \nIn some states, an individual may qualify after a specified period of time and repayment is made through an offset of the benefits."} -{"table_id": "5-10", "question": "Given the description above, are benefits reduced or canceled as a result of unemployment compensation fraud and misrepresentation in Iowa?", "answer": {"state": "IA", "duration_of_disqualification": "Up to current BY", "benefits_reduced_or_canceled": "Mandatory equal reduction"}, "prompt_context": "DISQUALIFICATION FOR UC FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION \nIn addition to monetary penalties and prosecution, an individual committing fraud when applying for UC may also be disqualified from receiving benefits. \nIn a few states there is a more severe disqualification when the fraudulent act results in payment of benefits. In others, it is more severe when the individual is convicted (see Table 6-3). In a few states, the disqualification is not imposed unless the individual is convicted. In other states, the individual is not subject to an administrative disqualification if penal procedures have been undertaken or if the benefits are being or have been recovered. \nSome states include a statutory limitation on the period within which a disqualification for fraudulent misrepresentation may be imposed (see states with footnote 3 in Table 5-10). The length of the disqualification period varies but is usually a year. In a few states, the disqualification period runs from the date of the offense to the filing of a claim for benefits. In these states, the disqualification can be imposed only if the individual files a claim for benefits within two years of the date of the fraudulent act. In many states, the penalty for disqualification for fraud or misrepresentation is more severe than the ordinary disqualification provisions. \nSome disqualifications start with the date of the fraudulent act, while others begin with the discovery of the act, the determination of fraud, the date on which the individual is notified to repay the sum so received, or the date of conviction by a court. Some begin with the filing of a first claim, while others are for weeks that would otherwise be compensable. \nAs the following table shows, the cancellation of wage credits in many states means the denial of benefits for the current benefit year or longer. A disqualification for a year means that wage credits will have expired, in whole or in part, depending on the end of the benefit year and the amount of wage credits accumulated for another benefit year before the fraudulent act.

This payment is capped at an amount equal to the amount of employee payments made into the unemployment fund of the state. \nState law determines which disabilities and services are covered under TDI, the extent to which employers and employees pay for this coverage, the extent to which employers may pursue private coverage or state coverage, the amount of disability benefits based on an individual\u2019s work history, and the eligibility requirements for an individual collecting disability benefits. An individual may collect disability benefits while employed or unemployed, depending on state law. \nCurrently, six states operate TDI programs: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island. The Hawaii program is administered by the Disability Compensation Division of the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. The New York program is administered by the New York State Workers\u2019 Compensation Board. All other programs are administered by the state employment security agency. \nPARTIAL WEEKS OF DISABILITY\u2014In all participating states weeks of partial disability are treated different from weeks of partial unemployment. Partial weeks of disability are traditionally payable when an individual resumes work on a less than full time basis, and consequently receives some wages during a week in which the disability still exist. The table below explains how partial weeks of disability are compensated across the participating states."}
