The Employment and Training Administration of the Labor Department published a notice to inform state workforce agencies about a revised Schedule of Remuneration for the Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers (UCX) Program. This schedule is used to calculate federal military wages when there is no DD Form 214 available for an individual's first UCX claim. The updated schedule applies to claims filed on or after January 1, 2021. States are required to use the previous year's schedule for claims made before this date.
Simple Explanation
The Employment and Training Administration wants states to use a new list of pay rates for military folks who want unemployment benefits starting January 1, 2021, but if they can't find someone's military discharge paper, they use this list to figure it out.
