benefits
A. An individual shall be eligible to receive extended benefits with respect to any
week of unemployment in his eligibility period only if the department finds that with
respect to such week:
1. He is an exhaustee as defined in section 23-627, and
2. He has satisfied the requirements of this chapter for the receipt of regular
benefits that are applicable to individuals claiming extended benefits, including not
being subject to a disqualification for the receipt of benefits.
3. He has, in the base period of his claim for regular benefits, total wages of at
least one and one-half times the wages in his highest quarter, or total wages that exceed
forty times his most recent weekly benefit amount established pursuant to this chapter.
B. Extended benefits are not payable pursuant to an interstate claim filed under
the interstate benefit payment plan unless an extended benefit period is in effect in the
state of filing for the week for which the claim is filed, except that an individual who
is otherwise eligible may receive extended benefits for not more than two weeks of
unemployment during his eligibility period pursuant to interstate claims filed in an area
where an extended benefit period is not in effect.
