With respect to each benefit year beginning after calendar year 2009, the dependent child allowance rate shall be the
sum of the allowance adjustment applicable pursuant to Section 1400.1 to the calendar year in which the benefit year

preceding calendar year, except as otherwise provided in this subsection. The dependent child allowance rate with
respect to each benefit year beginning in calendar year 2010 shall not be greater than 18.2%. The dependent child
allowance rate with respect to each benefit year beginning in calendar year 2011 shall be reduced by 0.2% absolute
below the rate it would otherwise have been pursuant to this subsection and, with respect to each benefit year

rate it would otherwise have been pursuant to this subsection and, with respect to each benefit year beginning after
calendar year 2011, shall not be less than 17.0% or greater than 17.9%.
