From NY dept of Labor website: Your original benefit rate is calculated on your actual high quarter wages. Your rate is one twenty-sixth (1/26) of the high quarter wages paid to you in your base period, except if your claim began before January 3, 2000 or your high quarter wages are $3575 or less, then your weekly benefit rate is one twenty-fifth (1/25) of your high quarter wages. Wages are applied to the quarter in which they are paid. The current maximum rate is $405.
