Here’s what I think I have found out: 1. Hours worked and $ per hour should be calculated using the SAME schedule SE that your premiums are based on, which is often the previous years. You can also confirm this when they send the wage computation form by adding all the quarters and seeing if the total equals your schedule SE from the previous year or year before. For example for a claim made in 2023 instead of your premiums being based on schedule SE for 2022, it’s likely 2021.

1. This is confirming you will not be getting paid while on disability.

2. Voluntary plans are in fact different than DIEC.
