  • Section Number: 615.6
  • Section Name: Extended Benefits; weekly amount.

    (a) Total unemployment. (1) The weekly amount of Extended Benefits 

payable to an individual for a week of total unemployment in the 

individual's eligibility period shall be the amount of regular 

compensation payable to the individual for a week of total unemployment 

during the applicable benefit year. If the individual had more than one 

weekly amount of regular compensation for total unemployment during such 

benefit year, the weekly amount of extended compensation for total 

unemployment shall be one of the following which applies as specified in 

the applicable State law:

    (i) The average of such weekly amounts of regular compensation,

    (ii) The last weekly benefit amount of regular compensation in such 

benefit year, or

    (iii) An amount that is reasonably representative of the weekly 

amounts of regular compensation payable during such benefit year.

    (2) If the method in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this section is 

adopted by a State, the State law shall specify how such amount is to be 

computed. If the method in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section is 

adopted by a State, and the amount computed is not an even dollar 

amount, the amount shall be raised or lowered to an even dollar amount 

as provided by the applicable State law for regular compensation.

    (b) Partial and part-total unemployment. The weekly amount of 

Extended Benefits payable for a week of partial or part-total 

unemployment shall be determined under the provisions of the applicable 

State law which apply to regular compensation, computed on the

basis of the weekly amount of Extended Benefits payable for a week of 

total unemployment as determined pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 

section.
