Average weekly benefits for April–June 1995 disasters

Summary ETA gave state unemployment agencies an average weekly benefit amount for each state and territory to use in calculating Disaster Unemployment Assistance for disasters in April through June 1995. It instructed agencies to round the amount up to the next dollar. A later Change 1 applied a different minimum calculation to disasters declared on or after May 11, 1995; ETA now labels this historical letter Canceled.

Purpose. To transmit the AWBA for each State for the third quarter of FY 1995.

AWBA Utilization. The attached listing identifies the AWBA which is to be used when computing the weekly amount of disaster unemployment assistance (DUA) for major disasters where the date of the disaster for the individual occurs during the third quarter of FY 1995 (refer to 20 CFR 625.6). The AWBA for each State is based on the total amount of unemployment insurance paid in that State in the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters immediately preceding the quarter in which the major disaster began. States shall use the AWBA, rounded to the next higher dollar amount, in the computation of the DUA weekly benefit amount. An updated listing will be provided for each subsequent calendar quarter.

Action Required. State Employment Security Agency Administrators are requested to provide this information to appropriate staff.
