Can anyone who is currently on unemployment, preferably for the state of Virginia because I do not know how it works elsewhere....maybe the same, check your March 30, 2009 pay stub and see what the total earnings are YTD? Then compare it to the Monetary Determination (for the state of Virgina) and see what the 1st quarter or Jan-Mar 2009 says your earnings are. Mine are over $800 off and from what the unemployment office and I can determine is it is ALMOST the difference between my total YTD earnings and my non taxable per diem. (Difference of about $6) Is it true that they do not use the non taxable per diem to determine your unemployment benefit amount? Since that is part of your total income?
