FROM:            JANE OATES /s/
                 Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:         Revised Federal Schedule of Remuneration for Use in Determining Benefit
                 Eligibility under the Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers
                 (UCX) Program

1. Purpose. To ensure states are aware of the revised Schedule of Remuneration for the UCX
   program that reflects the military pay increase and is effective April 1, 2013.

2. References.
   • 5 U.S.C. 8521 (a) (2).
   • 20 CFR 614.12.
   • Unemployment Insurance Program Letter No. 47-01, Electronic Exchange of Wage and
      Separation Information for the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees
      (UCFE) and the Unemployment Compensation for Ex-servicemembers (UCX) Programs.
   • Employment and Training Handbook No. 384, Second Edition, Handbook on
      Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers, Chapter IV.

3. Instructions. Each year, the Department of Defense issues a Schedule of Remuneration that
   may be used by states, as needed, for UCX purposes. States must use the schedule to
   determine Federal military wages for UCX “first claims” ONLY when the Federal Claims
   Control Center (FCCC) responds to a request for information indicating that there is no Copy
   5 of the Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214) for an
   individual under the social security number provided. A response from the FCCC that
   indicates “no DD214 on file” will prompt the state to start the affidavit process and to use the
   attached schedule to calculate the Federal military wages for an unemployment insurance or
   UCX monetary determination.

   The attached schedule applies to UCX “first claims” filed beginning with the first day of the
   first week that begins on or after April 1, 2013, pursuant to the UCX program regulations
   (see 20 CFR 614.12(c)). States must 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 will be published as a notice in the Federal Register.

 RESCISSIONS                                               EXPIRATION DATE
 None                                                      Continuing

4. Action Requested. State Administrators should provide the above instructions and the
   attached revised schedule to appropriate staff.

5. Inquiries. Direct questions to the appropriate Regional Office.
