A response from the FCCC that indicates no DD214 on file will prompt the state to start the affidavit process and use the attached schedule to calculate the Federal military wages for an unemployment insurance or UCX monetary determination. 4.Instructions. The attached schedule applies to UCX first claims filed beginning with the first day of the first week that begins on or after January 1 2024 pursuant to the UCX program regulations see 20 CFR 614.12 c . States must continue to use the existing schedule for UCX first claims filed before the effective date of the attached revised schedule. As provided by 20 CFR 614.12 d the attached schedule will be published as a notice in the Federal Register. 5.Inquiries. Please direct inquiries to the appropriate Regional Office. 2 6.
