Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part II - Bureau of Employment Security › Subpart A - Unemployment Compensation › Chapter 65 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS › Subchapter E - ELIGIBILITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER PAYMENTS › RETIREMENT PENSIONS AND ANNUITIES › Section 65.104 - Initial payments

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) When,
						following the retirement of an employe and, as part of a general pension plan,
						an initial payment is made in lieu of or in addition to the regular pension
						amount to which the employe is entitled, the initial payment will be considered
						a pension payment, and will be subject to this chapter.
(b) Initial payments are independent of
						regular pension payments. To the extent that they meet the requirements for
						deductibility provided in this chapter, the Department will deduct them from
						compensation otherwise payable to a claimant even if the claimant's regular
						pension payments are not deductible. The Department will not deduct initial
						payments if they do not meet the requirements for deductibility provided in
						this chapter, even if the claimant's regular pension payments are
						deductible.
(c) When the initial
						payment includes an amount paid for any reason other than pension, including
						unused vacation, only that amount which is attributable to the pension is
						deductible.
(d) When the initial
						pension payment is received by a claimant in a lump-sum, the deduction of this
						initial pension amount will be calculated by dividing the initial pension
						amount by the number of weeks for which the pension plan specifies the initial
						payment is being made. The number of weeks attributable to unused vacation or
						other payments will not be used in determining the weekly pension amount to be
						deducted. The result of this calculation, if not a multiple of 1 dollar, will
						be computed to the next higher multiple of 1 dollar and will be considered the
						prorated weekly deductible amount of the initial payment and is the amount by
						which the weekly benefit rate will be reduced, but not below zero.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
						When a claimant receives a lump-sum payment in lieu of a periodic pension
						payment, the prorated weekly pension amount which the employe could have
						received will be deducted in accordance with §
												65.108 (relating to rules of
						attribution).
(b) When a claimant
						cannot receive periodic pension payments and must take a mandatory lump-sum
						payment, no pension deduction will be made.
(c) When a claimant receives a deductible
						lump sum payment and transfers only a portion of that payment into an eligible
						retirement plan within 60 days of receipt, the remainder of the lump sum
						payment which is not transferred into an eligible retirement plan will be
						deducted, along with any other deductible pension payments made to the claimant
						under §
												65.102 (relating to application of
						the deduction) and §
												65.108.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
If a pension, retirement, annuity or other similar
						  periodic payment deductible under section 404(d)(2) of the law (43 P. S. §
													804(d)(2)) is received on
						  other than a weekly basis, the amount to be deducted will be prorated as
						  follows: The claimant's monthly pension is the amount the claimant could have
						  received each month had the claimant opted to take periodic payments in lieu of
						  a lump sum. The Department will use the deductible amount of that monthly
						  pension, convert it to a yearly amount, and divide by 52. If not a multiple of
						  one dollar, the Department will determine the prorated weekly deductible amount
						  of the pension by rounding to the next higher multiple of one dollar. The
						  weekly benefit amount payable to the claimant will be reduced, but not below
						  zero, by the prorated weekly deductible amount of the pension, in accordance
						  with section 404(d)(2) of the law.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) The table
						specified for the determination of rate and amount of benefits, as provided in
						Appendix A, shall be extended or contracted annually as prescribed in section
						404(e)(2) of the law (43 P. S. §
													804(e)(2)) as follows:
(1) The total number of persons in covered
						employment reported by employers to the Department for the 12-month period
						ending June 30 is divided by 12 and rounded to the nearest unit to produce the
						average monthly number of covered workers.
(2) The total amount of covered wages
						reported by employers to the Department-irrespective of the limit on the amount
						of wages subject to employer contributions-for the 12-month period ending June
						30 is then divided by the monthly number of covered workers. The result is
						rounded to the nearest cent to produce the average annual wage.
(3) The average annual wage is then divided
						by 52, rounding to the nearest cent, to produce the average weekly
						wage.
(4) The average weekly wage
						is then multiplied by 2 and the product is divided by 3. The result becomes the
						maximum weekly benefit rate. If the result is not a whole dollar amount, it
						shall be rounded to the next higher multiple of $1.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part II - Bureau of Employment Security › Subpart A - Unemployment Compensation › Chapter 65 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS › Subchapter F - COMPUTATIONS › DETERMINATION OF WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE › Section 65.112 - Extending or contracting benefit table

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) When it is necessary, under the
						provisions of section 404(e)(2) of the law (43 P. S. §
													804(e)(2)), to extend the
						table specified in §
												65.111 (relating to benefit table)
						and Appendix A for the determination of rates and amounts of benefits, it shall
						be done as follows:
(1) The words "or more"
						shall be deleted from the last line under
Part A
of Appendix
						A, and an amount $24 greater than the first entry in that line shall be
						substituted therefor.
(2)
Part A
shall be extended as much as necessary by adding $25 to
						each amount of the preceding line. At the point where the entry in
Part
						B
equals 64 2/3% of the average weekly wage, the first entry in
Part A
shall consist of an amount $25 greater than the smaller
						amount in the preceding line, and the words "or more" shall be added.
(3)
Part B
of Appendix A
						shall be extended in increments of $1.00 until that point is reached where the
						amount is equal to 64 2/3% of the average weekly wage.
(4)
Part C
of Appendix A
						shall be extended in increments of $40 to the point where, under
Part B
of Appendix A, the amount is equal to 64 2/3% of the average weekly
						wage.
(5)
Part D
of Appendix A shall be extended in increments of $30 to the point where, under
Part B
of Appendix A, the amount is equal to 64 2/3% of the
						average weekly wage.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part II - Bureau of Employment Security › Subpart A - Unemployment Compensation › Chapter 65 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS › Subchapter F - COMPUTATIONS › DETERMINATION OF WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE › Section 65.113 - Computation of weekly wage

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) It is
						an objective of the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Program that an
						unemployed, eligible claimant shall be compensated for at least 50% of his
						weekly wage loss, subject to the maximum weekly benefit rate fixed by
						law.
(b) Prior to 1955, computation
						of the weekly benefit rate of the claimant was based exclusively upon his
						weekly earnings during that calendar quarter of his base year in which he has
						the greatest amount of wages in covered employment.
(c) When a claimant has experienced irregular
						or short term employment in his base year, the high quarter formula of
						subsection (b) has occasionally failed to compensate the claimant at the rate
						of 50% of his weekly wage. Section 404(a) of the law (43 P. S. §
													804(a)) remedies this
						condition effective with benefit years commencing on or after May 1, 1955, to
						provide an alternate formula for computing a claimant's compensation rate, that
						is 50% of his full-time weekly wage, whichever is greater.
This section cited in 34 Pa. Code §
														65.122 (relating to seasonal
							 businesses).
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part II - Bureau of Employment Security › Subpart A - Unemployment Compensation › Chapter 65 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS › Subchapter F - COMPUTATIONS › DETERMINATION OF WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE › Section 65.114 - High quarter rate determination

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The high quarter formula, in most instances, yields a
						  weekly benefit rate which is equal to or in excess of 50% of the full-time
						  weekly wage of the claimant. Since the Department is in possession of the wage
						  records of the claimant required for this computation, and since additional
						  information not of record is required for determining his full-time weekly
						  wage, the Department, for the purpose of practicable administration and in
						  order to avoid delay in the payment of benefits, shall apply the following
						  rules in determining the claimant's weekly benefit rate under the provisions of
						  this subchapter:
(1) A weekly benefit
						rate, computed on the basis of the claimant's high quarter wages in accordance
						with Part A and Part B of Appendix A, shall be the rate on which his
						compensation rights shall be initially determined for any benefit year, unless
						it is found on the basis of employment experience in the claimant's base year
						that 50% of his full-time weekly wage exceeds his weekly benefit rate as
						established by the high quarter formula, in which event his weekly benefit rate
						shall be 50% of his full-time weekly wage.
(2) An employe who is employed in an
						occupation in which the remuneration is based solely on commission with no
						fixed or guaranteed minimum, or an employe hired as a contingent or extra
						employe, or one hired for less than the full-time work week of the
						establishment, shall be deemed not to have a full-time weekly wage on the basis
						of that employment.
(3) The
						application of these rules shall in no way prejudice the right of a claimant
						whose base-year wages are insufficient to qualify him for compensation at the
						rate thus determined to receive compensation at a lower rate in accordance with
						section 404(a)(3) and (c) of the law (43 P. S. §
													804(a)(3) and
						(c)).
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part II - Bureau of Employment Security › Subpart A - Unemployment Compensation › Chapter 65 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS › Subchapter F - COMPUTATIONS › DETERMINATION OF WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE › Section 65.115 - Ascertainment of full-time weekly wage

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The full-time weekly wage of an employe shall be that
						  wage which an employe would receive if he were employed for a full-time week of
						  not less than 5 full work days, and shall be ascertained as follows:
(1) In all cases, the wages paid by the
						employer from whom the claimant earned the greatest amount of wages in his base
						year, as shown on the Notice of Financial Determination (Form UC-44F), shall be
						used as the basis for ascertaining the full-time weekly wage. If the claimant
						was paid at more than one wage rate based upon a unit of time by the employer,
						the wage rate at which he earned the greatest amount of wages in his base year
						shall be used.
(2) In all cases,
						the full-time weekly wage shall be computed to the nearest dollar.
(3) If the wages are fixed by the week, the
						amount so fixed shall be the full-time weekly wage.
(4) If the wages are fixed by the month, the
						full-time weekly wage shall be the monthly wage so fixed, multiplied by 12 and
						divided by 52.
(5) If the wages are
						fixed by the year, the full-time weekly wage shall be the yearly wage so fixed,
						divided by 52.
(6) If the wages are
						fixed by the day, the full-time weekly wage shall be the daily wage rate
						multiplied by not less than five.
(7) If the wages are fixed by the hour, the
						full-time weekly wage shall be the hourly wage rate multiplied by the regularly
						scheduled number of hours in a full-time work day, and the result multiplied by
						not less than five.
(8) If the
						wages are fixed on a piece rate or tonnage basis, the full-time weekly wage
						shall be determined as follows:
(9)
						Wages earned in the calendar quarter in which the claimant's earnings were the
						greatest in his base year shall be divided by the actual number of hours worked
						for the wages to establish the average hourly rate. The average hourly rate
						thus obtained shall be multiplied by the regularly scheduled number of hours in
						a full-time work day and the result multiplied by not less than five.
(10) If the wages are fixed on a combination
						of an hourly wage rate plus a piece work or tonnage rate, the full-time weekly
						wage shall be determined by the piece rate method, as explained in this
						section.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part II - Bureau of Employment Security › Subpart A - Unemployment Compensation › Chapter 65 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS › Subchapter F - COMPUTATIONS › DETERMINATION OF WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE › Section 65.116 - Application for benefits

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) If, at
						the time the claimant files his initial application for benefits, a full-time
						weekly wage can be established, subject to verification, it shall be indicated
						on the initial application of the claimant. The weekly benefit rate for these
						applications shall be computed on the basis of the highest quarterly wages in
						accordance with Part A and Part B of Appendix A, or 50% of the full-time weekly
						wage, whichever is greater.
(b) If,
						at the time the claimant files his initial application for benefits, a
						full-time weekly wage cannot be established, the weekly benefit rate shall be
						computed solely on the basis of the high quarter formula. Upon receipt of the
						Notice of Financial Determination (Form UC-44F), the local office shall
						determine if there is a substantial basis for a weekly benefit rate
						determination based on full-time weekly wage. This determination may be made at
						the time of the waiting week or at the time of the benefit rights interview.
						For these cases the local office shall initiate whatever actions are required
						to obtain necessary wage information upon which to establish the full-time
						weekly wage.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part II - Bureau of Employment Security › Subpart A - Unemployment Compensation › Chapter 65 - EMPLOYEE PROVISIONS › Subchapter F - COMPUTATIONS › WEEKLY NET EARNINGS IN SIDELINE SELF-EMPLOYMENT › Section 65.121 - Computation of weekly net earnings

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
						Since an accurate determination of weekly net earnings for a particular week or
						month will usually be impossible because of the time lapse between the
						performance of services and the receipt of resulting income. Weekly net
						earnings for a current calendar year shall be based on net earnings in a
						previous calendar year or on anticipated earnings in the current calendar year,
						if operations were not conducted in a previous calendar year, in accordance
						with the following:
(1) For a claimant
						engaged in farming, "gross income" from sales and services shall be reduced by
						subtraction of expenses for labor, feed, seeds and plants, fertilizer and
						lime.
(2) For a claimant engaged in
						a business other than farming, "gross income" from sales and services shall be
						reduced by subtraction of the cost, if any, of goods sold. Cost of goods sold
						shall include the total cost of merchandise, cost of labor and cost of material
						and supplies.
(3) The remainder
						shall be divided by the number of weeks during which the farm or business
						operated or will operate during a year. The quotient shall represent the weekly
						net earnings to be used for the purpose of computing benefits
						payable.
