Pennsylvania HB1995 amends the Unemployment Compensation Law to adjust the rate and amount of unemployment compensation based on wage triggers.
Pennsylvania HB1995 amends the Unemployment Compensation Law to modify how the rate and amount of unemployment compensation are calculated. If the trigger percentage is at least 250%, the highest quarterly wages are determined based on the highest wages paid during the base year. If the trigger percentage is less than 250%, the highest quarterly wages are calculated as the average of the highest and second-highest wages paid during the base year. The bill also adjusts the weekly benefit rate to ensure it does not exceed 63% of the total base year wages. This act takes effect immediately.
