Applies the PA L&I Table formula under 43 P.S. § 804(e)(1) — 3.2% solvency reduction built in. Stated rate min $68 · max $605; actual deposited amount min ~$65 · max ~$585/week. This is an estimate, not an official PA L&I monetary determination.
Your Base Period Wages
Enter your highest-earning quarter of gross wages from your base period — the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters before filing (43 P.S. § 804). Your weekly benefit rate is looked up from the Table (34 Pa. Code Ch. 65, App. A), approximating 50% of your average weekly wage in that quarter, capped at $605.
$
Minimum required: $1,688 (43 P.S. § 804)
Weeks earning ≥ $116 — sets duration (18–26 wks), not a flat 26
Separation & Dependents
Max $8/week — PA is one of few states paying dependent allowances
Monetary threshold not met. A highest quarter below $1,688, fewer than 18 credit weeks, or insufficient wage distribution (37% outside high quarter) may make you ineligible under 43 P.S. § 804. If the standard base period fails, PA L&I automatically evaluates the alternate base period (last 4 completed quarters). File at benefits.uc.pa.gov — the official determination is free.
