(a) Authority. Section 8521(a)(2) of chapter 85, title 5 of the
United States Code, 5 U.S.C. 8521(a)(2), requires the Secretary of Labor
to issue from time to time, after consultation with the Secretary of
Defense, a Schedule of Remuneration specifying the pay and allowances
for each pay grade of members of the Armed Forces.
(b) Elements of schedule. A schedule reflects representative amounts
for appropriate elements of the pay and allowances, whether in cash or
kind, for each pay grade of members of the Armed Forces, with a
statement of the effective date of the schedule. Benefit amounts for the
UCX Program are computed on the basis of the Federal military wages for
the pay grade of the individual at the time of the individual's latest
discharge or release from Federal military service, as specified in the
schedule applicable at the time the individual files his or her first
claim for compensation for the benefit year.
(c) Effective date. Any new Schedule of Remuneration shall take
effect beginning with the first week of the calendar quarter following
the calendar quarter in which such schedule is issued, and shall remain
applicable until a subsequent schedule becomes effective. Prior
schedules shall continue to remain applicable for the periods they were
in effect.
(d) Publication. Any new Schedule of Remuneration shall be issued by
the Secretary of Labor to the State agencies and the Federal military
agencies. Promptly after the issuance of a new Schedule of Remuneration
it shall be published as a notice in the Federal Register.
