1999 federal remuneration schedule for ex-servicemember unemployment claims

Summary ETA directed state agencies to use a revised schedule of military wages when determining eligibility for Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers first claims filed after April 3, 1999. It told agencies to use the prior schedule for earlier first claims. Change 1 rescinded and reissued the schedule to correct the W-5 weekly rate; the base letter and its attachment also give conflicting dates for when it applies.
