General Instructions: Try clicking on the buttons to make calculations. If some keys, such as the multiplication (*) key or division (/) key, don't work, try typing in those symbols in the window. Handling of some expressions varies among browsers. Clicking 'CL' clears the form.
To set up a claim, the UIA must find the following in the base period: wages in the "high quarter" (quarter with the highest wages) of at least $2,871; and wages in the entire based period of at least 1.5 times the wages in the high quarter.
Multiply your high-quarter wages by 4.1% (.041)
Add $6 for each dependent up to 5;
Round down the result to the nearest whole number;
Multiply your total base period wages by 43% (.43);
Divide that amount by your weekly benefit amount;
Round down the result to the nearest half-week;
Minimum duration of benefits is 14 weeks; maximum is 20 weeks.
EXAMPLE: Using the UIA Interactive Wage Record Calculatorbelow, let's figure the duration of benefits for a person with total base period wages of $3,100 and a weekly benefit amount of $82.
Enter 3100 and then hit the decimal point (.) key;
Hit the multiply key (* key), enter .43 and then hit the equal (=) key (your calculator window should now read 3100.*.43 = 1333);
Hit the division key (/ key), enter 82 and then hit the equal (=) key;
Round down the result to the nearest half week (e.g., 20.5 weeks).
What was your answer? If you got 16 weeks after rounding down, you are correct.
