the maximum weekly benefit rate shall equal sixty-six and

two-thirds per centum (66 2/3%) of the average weekly

preceding each calendar year. If the maximum weekly

benefit rate is not a multiple of one dollar ($1), it shall be

rounded to the next lower multiple of one dollar ($1).

(B) When it is necessary to extend the table, it shall be done in

Part B, the amount is equal to sixty-six and two-thirds

per centum (66 2/3%) of the average weekly wage.
