Corrected 2002 military remuneration schedule for UCX claims

Summary ETA corrected its military remuneration schedule for unemployment claims by former service members. States were to use the attached pay grade rates for first claims filed beginning with the first week starting on or after April 7, 2002, and keep using the prior schedule for earlier claims. This change rescinded UIPL 11-02, and ETA now labels the change Canceled.

SWAs will continue to use the existing schedule for UCX "first claims" filed before the effective date of the attached revised schedule. As provided by 20 CFR 614.12(d), the attached schedule shall be published as a notice in the Federal Register.
