The U.S. Department of Labor has published the updated 2026 Federal Schedule of Remuneration for the UCX program. This schedule is used by states to calculate Federal military wages for UCX first claims when no DD Form 214 is on file. The new rates reflect the military pay increase and apply to first claims filed beginning with the first week starting on or after January 1, 2026. States must continue using the 2025 schedule for claims filed before that date. The schedule provides monthly, weekly (7/30th), and daily (1/30th) pay rates across all military pay grades from O-10 to E-1, including warrant officers and enlisted personnel with special enlisted-to-officer categories.
