Corrected 1999 military remuneration schedule for UCX claims

Summary ETA reissued its 1999 military pay schedule for ex-servicemember unemployment claims because the W-5 weekly amount in the original attachment was wrong. States were to use the corrected schedule for qualifying first claims beginning with the first week after April 3, 1999, and the earlier schedule for claims before then. UIPL 12-00 later rescinded this change and replaced its rates.
