This adjustment (increase) in the wage ceiling is based on the change in the retail price index over the two previous calendar years plus 2%. As of July 1, 2024 the weekly insurable wage will increase from $740 per week to $810 per week and from $3,207 per month to $3,510 per month. The first automatic increase occurred in July 2014 and occurs every two years. The next adjustment is scheduled for July 1, 2024.
