The average annual wage thus obtained must be divided by 52 and the average weekly wage thus determined must be rounded to the nearest cent. Fifty percent of that average weekly wage, rounded to the nearest lower multiple of $1, if not a multiple of $1, constitutes the maximum weekly benefit amount. In making this calculation, any tips which were included in reported wages must be excluded.
2. The maximum weekly benefit amount as determined on or before July 1 of each year must be paid to persons whose benefit year commences on or after July 1 of that year and before July 1 of the following year.

2. An elected base period may be established only if the person files a claim for benefits within 3 years after any period of disability begins and not later than the fourth calendar week of unemployment after:
(a) The end of the period of temporary total disability or temporary partial disability; or
(b) The date the person ceases to receive money for rehabilitative services,
whichever occurs later. If one calendar quarter of the described base period has been used in a previous determination of the person’s entitlement to benefits, the elected base period must be the first 4 completed calendar quarters immediately preceding the first day of the calendar week in which the disability began.
3. A person who has elected a base period pursuant to this section and who had previously established a benefit year may establish a new benefit year consisting of the 52 consecutive weeks beginning with the first day of the first week with respect to which a valid claim is filed after the period of disability ends or payments for rehabilitative services cease, whichever occurs later.
