Includes claimants for Regular UI only. An exit is defined as the last payment before a gap of two or more weeks without a certification for benefits. (If a claimant certifies for those weeks retroactively, they are not counted as having exited). Claimants who transition to receiving payments through the PUA program are not counted as having exited.
Upon reaching the end of their benefit year, claimants who have earned income in the preceding 18 months are required to file a transitional claim in order to continue receiving UI benefits.
In this chart, "-1" corresponds to the group of claimants who received their last payment before exiting the UI system with 1 week remaining in their benefit year.
