Ex-Military Gets Unemployment Boost Thanks to Pay Raises

## Summary

Starting January 1, 2025, military veterans filing for Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers (UCX) will see updated pay rates that match the new military pay raise. States will use this new schedule to figure out benefits for first-time claims when official military records aren’t available. This means some veterans could get a bit more money in their unemployment checks starting next year!

## Effects PRIA read

- UCX Pay Schedule Raised Jan 1, 2025: benefit, low. If you are a veteran filing a first Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Servicemembers (UCX) claim and your DD Form 214 is not on file, your Federal military wages for that claim will be calculated using a revised Schedule of Remuneration that reflects the military pay increase effective for UCX first…
