Section 804 - Rate and Amount of CompensationCompensation shall be paid to each eligible employe in accordance with the following provisions of this section except that compensation payable with respect to weeks ending in benefit years which begin prior to the first day of January 1989 shall be paid on the basis of the provisions of this section in effect at the beginning of such benefit years.
(a)(1) The employe's weekly benefit rate shall be computed as (1) the amount appearing in part b of the table specified for the determination of rate and amount of benefits on the line on which in part a there appears his "highest quarterly wage," or (2) fifty per centum (50%) of his full-time weekly wage, whichever is greater. Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, if an employe's weekly benefit rate, as calculated under this paragraph, is less than sixty-eight dollars ($68), he shall be ineligible to receive any amount of compensation. If the employe's weekly benefit rate is not a multiple of one dollar ($1), it shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of one dollar ($1).(2) If the base year wages of an employe whose weekly benefit rate has been determined under clause (2) of paragraph (1) of this subsection are insufficient to qualify him under subsection (c) of this section, his weekly benefit rate shall be redetermined under clause (1) of paragraph (1) of this subsection.(3) If an employe's weekly benefit rate as determined under clause (1) of paragraph (1) of this subsection, or redetermined under paragraph (2) of this subsection, as the case may be, is less than the maximum weekly benefit rate and the employe's base year wages are insufficient to qualify him under subsection (c) of this section but are sufficient to qualify him for any one of the next two lower weekly benefit rates, his weekly benefit rate shall be redetermined at the highest of such next lower rates.(b) The "highest quarterly wages" of an employe shall be the total wages (computed to the nearest dollar) which were paid to such employe in that calendar quarter in which such total wages were highest during the base year.(c) If an otherwise eligible employe has base year wages in an amount equal to, or in excess of, the amount of qualifying wages appearing in Part C of the Table Specified for the Determination of Rate and Amount of Benefits on the line on which in Part B there appears his weekly benefit rate, as determined under subsection (a) of this section and had eighteen (18) or more credit weeks during his base year, he shall be entitled during his benefit year to the amount appearing in Part B on said line multiplied by the number of credit weeks during his base year, up to a maximum of twenty-six (26). Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, any employe with less than eighteen (18) credit weeks during the employe's base year shall be ineligible to receive any amount of compensation.(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section each eligible employe who is unemployed with respect to any week ending subsequent to July 1, 1980 shall be paid, with respect to such week, compensation in an amount equal to his weekly benefit rate less the total of (i) the remuneration, if any, paid or payable to him with respect to such week for services performed which is in excess of his partial benefit credit, (ii) vacation pay, if any, which is in excess of his partial benefit credit, except when paid to an employe who is permanently or indefinitely separated from his employment and (iii) the amount of severance pay that is attributed to the week.(1.1) For purposes of clause (1)(iii), all of the following apply:(i) "Severance pay" means one or more payments made by an employer to an employe on account of separation from the service of the employer, regardless of whether the employer is legally bound by contract, statute or otherwise to make such payments. The term does not include payments for pension, retirement or accrued leave or payments of supplemental unemployment benefits.(ii) The amount of severance pay attributed pursuant to subclause (iii) shall be an amount not less than zero (0) determined by subtracting forty per centum (40%) of the average annual wage as calculated under subsection (e) as of June 30 immediately preceding the calendar year in which the claimant's benefit year begins from the total amount of severance pay paid or payable to the claimant by the employer.(iii) Severance pay is attributed as follows: (A) Severance pay is attributed to the day, days, week or weeks immediately following the employe's separation.(B) The number of days or weeks to which severance pay is attributed is determined by dividing the total amount of severance pay by the regular full-time daily or weekly wage of the claimant.(C) The amount of severance pay attributed to each day or week equals the regular full-time daily or weekly wage of the claimant.(D) When the attribution of severance pay is made on the basis of the number of days, the pay shall be attributed to the customary working days in the calendar week.(2)(i) In addition to the deductions provided for in clause (1), for any week with respect to which an individual is receiving a pension, including a governmental or other pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity or any other similar periodic payment, under a plan maintained or contributed to by a base period or chargeable employer, the weekly benefit amount payable to such individual for such week shall be reduced, but not below zero, by the pro-rated weekly amount of the pension as determined under subclause (ii).(ii) If the pension is entirely contributed to by the employer, then one hundred per centum (100%) of the pro-rated weekly amount of the pension shall be deducted. Except as set forth in clause (4), if the pension is contributed to by the individual, in any amount, then fifty per centum (50%) of the pro-rated weekly amount of the pension shall be deducted.(iii) No deduction shall be made under this clause by reason of the receipt of a pension if the services performed by the individual during the base period or remuneration received for such services for such employer did not affect the individual's eligibility for, or increase the amount of, such pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity or similar payment.(3) The provisions of this subsection shall be applicable whether or not such vacation pay, retirement pension or annuities or wages are legally required to be paid. If such retirement pension or annuity payments deductible under the provisions of this subsection are received on other than a weekly basis, the amount thereof shall be allocated and pro-rated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the department. Vacation pay or other remuneration deductible under the provisions of this subsection shall be pro-rated on the basis of the employe's normal full-time weekly wage and as so pro-rated shall be allocated to such period or periods of unemployment as shall be determined by rules and regulations of the department. Such compensation, if not a multiple of one dollar ($1), shall be computed to the next lower multiple of one dollar ($1).(4) No deductions shall be made under this subsection for pensions paid under the Social Security Act ( Public Law 74-271, 42 U.S.C. § 301 et seq.), or the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 ( Public Law 93-445, 88 Stat. 1305), if the pension is contributed to by the individual in any amount.(e)(1)TABLE SPECIFIED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF RATE AND AMOUNT OF BENEFITS $1,688 - $1,712 | $68 | $2,718 |

If the maximum weekly benefit rate is not a multiple of one dollar ($1), it shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of one dollar ($1).(B) When it is necessary to extend the table, it shall be done in accordance with the following procedure:(I) THe words "or more" shall be deleted from the last line under part a, and an amount twenty-four dollars ($24) greater than the first entry in that line shall be substituted therefor. (II) Part A shall be extended as much as necessary by adding twenty-five dollars ($25) to each amount of the preceding line. At the point where the entry in part b equals sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66 2/3%) of the average weekly wage, the first entry in part a shall consist of an amount twenty-five dollars ($25) greater than the smaller amount in the preceding line, and the words "or more" shall be added.(III) Part B shall be extended in increments of one dollar ($1) until that point is reached where the amount is equal to sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66 2/3%) of the average weekly wage.(IV) Part C shall be extended to the point where, under part b, the amount is equal to sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66 2/3%) of the average weekly wage.(A) The amount on each line in part c shall be derived from the first entry on the same line in part a, in accordance with the following formula: (First entry in part a plus twenty-four dollars ($24)) x 100 divided by [fifty and one-half (50.5)] sixty - three (63)
If the amount determined by this formula is not an even multiple of one dollar ($1), it shall be rounded to the next higher multiple of one dollar ($1).
(C) When it is necessary to contract the table, it shall be done by deleting all lines following that in which the amount in part b is sixty-six and two-thirds per centum (66 2/3%) of the average weekly wageand substituting the words "or more" for the higher amount under part a on that line.(D) The table specified for the determination of rate and amount of benefits as so extended or contracted shall be effective only for those claimants whose benefit years begin on or after the first day of january of such calendar year.(II) For the purpose of determining the maximum weekly benefit rate, the pennsylvania average weekly wage in covered employment shall be computed on the basis of the average annual total wages reported (irrespective of the limit on the amount of wages subject to contributions) for the thirty-six-month period ending june 30 (determined by dividing the total wages reported for the thirty-six-month period by three) and this amount shall be divided by the average monthly number of covered workers (determined by dividing the total covered employment reported for the same thirty-six-month period by thirty-six) to determine the average annual wage. The average annual wage thus obtained shall be divided by fifty-two and the average weekly wage thus determined rounded to the nearest cent.(III) Notwithstanding subclause (i), if the maximum weekly benefit rate determined under subclause (i) is greater than five hundred sixty-one dollars ($561), the maximum weekly benefit rate shall be subject to the following limitations: (A) For calendar years 2013 through 2016, the maximum weekly benefit rate shall be five hundred seventy-three dollars ($573).(A.1) For each calendar year 2017 through 2019, the maximum weekly benefit rate shall be five

than four per centum (4%) of the maximum weekly benefit rate for the preceding year.(C) IF the maximum weekly benefit rate determined under this subclause is not an even multiple of one dollar ($1), it shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of one dollar ($1).(IV) In addition to the limitations set forth in subclause (iii), the following shall apply: (A) Notwithstanding the provisions of subclause (iii)(b), for calendar years 2020 through 2023, the maximum weekly benefit rate shall not increase if the trigger percentage determined under section 301.7(a) is less than one hundred ten
