Wyoming ties eligibility to the statewide average annual wage
Wyoming's qualifying test is not a fixed dollar figure but a share of what the state as a whole earns: at least 8% of the statewide average annual wage, alongside 1.4 times high-quarter wages. The bar therefore rises automatically as Wyoming wages rise.
- 8% of the statewide average annual wage. An indexed threshold, so it cannot be left behind by inflation the way a fixed dollar figure is.
- 4% of high-quarter wages, equivalent to 1/25, with a weekly range of $47 to $651.
- The claim total is the lesser of 30% of base-period wages or 26 times the weekly amount, giving 11 to 26 payable weeks.
- Part-time work: half the weekly amount is ignored, one of the more generous percentage disregards in the country.
- Every employer is covered regardless of payroll size — no weeks-worked or quarterly-wage threshold applies.
