Revised Schedule of Remuneration for the Unemployment 
Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers (UCX) Program That Reflects the 
Military Pay Increase Effective

January 1, 2026.

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of 
Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Each year, the Department of Defense issues a Schedule of 
Remuneration used by states for UCX purposes. States use the schedule 
to determine Federal military wages for UCX ``first claims'' only when 
the Federal Claims Control Center (FCCC) responds to a request for 
information indicating that there is no Department of Labor copy of the 
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, commonly known DD 
Form 214 (DD214) for an individual under the social security number 
provided. A response from the FCCC that indicates ``no DD214 on file'' 
will prompt the state to start the affidavit process and to use the 
attached schedule to calculate the Federal military wages for an 
unemployment insurance or UCX monetary determination.
    The schedule applies to UCX ``first claims'' filed beginning with 
the first day of the first week that begins on or after January 1, 
2026, pursuant to the UCX program regulations (see 20 CFR 614.12(c)). 
States must continue to use the 2025 schedule (or other appropriate 
schedule) for UCX ``first claims'' filed before the effective date of 
the revised schedule. Below is the 2026 Federal Schedule of 
Remuneration recently released by the Department of Defense.
