The "Historical amounts - update" menu choice allows you to update the historical average wage series, benefit increases, and wage bases. Values can be entered for the year after the current computation year. The form has the following entries:
When the data becomes available, you should enter the value for each of the four series. Normally, this would be done around November 1, when the benefit increase for December and the average wage and wage base for the next year are announced.
After you have added the four new historical amounts, the new values are saved in the Registry. Press Cancel to exit from the form without saving any new values to the Registry.
