Benefit Amount

The weekly benefit amount IN
Maryland Is computed as one
twenty sixth OF the workers wages
during the quarter of highc i
earnings during the past year
with provision for SIS minimum
and a Sis maximum. We sug-
eest that the weekly benefit
amount be based on one-twcni!-
eth instead of one twenty-SiXth OF
the workers wages during the
quarter OF highest earnings. II
should be pointed out that even
though Maryland manuiacturinE
industries pay an average weekly
wage only slightly lower than
such states as Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts. the weekly benz
fit amount in Maryland is ma
terially less than in the two men
toned states. both comparable be-
cause of the manufacturing in
dustries involved.
Other Jurisdictions which use
the one-twentieth ratio to deter
mine the weekly benefit amount
include Alaska. Arizona. Califor-
mia. Florida. Illinois. Iowa. Neb-
raska. Nevada. North Dakota.

We recommend that the bene-
