  1. An unemployment compensation base year is the period of time during which your earnings are calculated to determine your weekly benefit amount, the maximum amount you will be able to collect in unemployment benefits per week.  A base year usually consists of 52 consecutive weeks.  I use the word ‘usually’ here because there are factors that can affect the amount of weeks.  For instance, because of the way quarters end, it is possible to have the same quarter in two consecutive base years.
  2. The information contained herein is not necessarily up to date because banks/states change their fees from time to time.  This is only a generalization on what you can expect when using a debit card in order to access your unemployment compensation benefits.  This is only a random sampling of those states that use debit cards.

    Generally, if you use the ATM attached to the card, or even a financial institution showing the card’s logo (Visa, MasterCard for example), there is no fee.
  3. The appeal comes into play immediately after the decision denying UC benefits is issued.  It is IMPORTANT to adequately prepare a defense at this step.  Although an unemployment appeal can be made following the hearing, usually no additional testimony or evidence is allowed.  The appeal actually consists of three steps:  

    • Actually filing the appeal
    • Preparing the defense
    • Attending the hearing

    Filing the Appeal

        The actual appeal should be filed according to each state’s particular standards.
