DWD 129.04(2)(b)3.3. The wage data used by the department to establish the benefit year is erroneous. DWD 129.04(2)(b)4.4. The claimant established a benefit year in the two weeks immediately preceding the first full week of a new calendar quarter, but a benefit year established as of the first full week of the new calendar quarter would give the claimant a higher weekly benefit rate or a higher maximum benefit amount. DWD 129.04(2)(b)5.5. The claimant’s first payment in the benefit year was made after an additional initial claim was filed. DWD 129.04(2)(b)7.7. The cancellation of wage credits under s. 108.04 (5), Stats., reduces the claimant’s maximum benefit amount to less than 5 times the weekly benefit rate. DWD 129.04(2)(b)8.8. Other exceptional circumstances exist over which the claimant has no control that are related to establishing a benefit year. DWD 129.04 HistoryHistory: Cr.
