Except when the result would be inconsistent with the other
provisions of this chapter, as provided in rules of the department,
the provisions of the law which apply to claims for or the payment of
regular benefits shall apply to claims for, and the payment of,
extended benefits.
1. Eligibility requirements for extended benefits. An
individual is eligible to receive extended benefits with respect to a
week of unemployment in the individual's eligibility period only if
the department finds that all of the following conditions are met:
a. The individual is an "exhaustee" as defined in this
chapter.
b. The individual 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.
c. The individual has been paid wages for insured work during
the individual's base period in an amount at least one and one-half
times the wages paid to the individual during that quarter of the
individual's base period in which the individual's wages were
highest.
2. Disqualification for extended benefits. If an individual
claiming extended benefits furnishes satisfactory evidence to the
department that the individual's prospects for obtaining work in the
individual's customary occupation within a reasonably short period
are good, section 96.5, subsection 3 applies. If the department
determines that an individual is claiming extended benefits and the
individual's prospects for obtaining work in the individual's
customary occupation are poor, the following paragraphs apply:
a. An individual shall be disqualified for extended benefits
if the individual fails to apply for or refuses to accept an offer of
suitable work to which the individual was referred by the department
or the individual fails to actively seek work, unless the individual
has been employed during at least four weeks, which need not be
consecutive, subsequent to the disqualification and has earned at
least four times the individual's weekly extended benefit amount. In
order to be considered suitable work under this subsection, the gross
weekly wage for the suitable work shall be in excess of the
individual's weekly extended benefit amount plus any weekly
supplemental unemployment compensation benefits which the individual
is receiving.
b. An individual shall not be disqualified for extended
benefits for failing to apply for or refusing to accept an offer of
suitable work, unless the suitable work was offered to the individual
in writing or was listed with the department.
c. This subsection shall not apply to claims for extended
benefits for weeks of unemployment beginning March 6, 1993, and
ending before January 1, 1995, or if otherwise prohibited by federal
law.
3. Weekly extended benefit amount. The weekly extended
benefit amount payable to an individual for a week of total
unemployment in the individual's eligibility period is an amount
equal to the weekly benefit amount payable to the individual during
the individual's applicable benefit year.
4. Total extended benefit amount.a. The total extended benefit amount payable to an eligible
individual with respect to the individual's applicable benefit year
is the least of the following amounts:
(1) Fifty percent of the total amount of regular benefits which
were payable to the individual under this chapter in the individual's
applicable benefit year.
(2) Thirteen times the individual's weekly benefit amount which
was payable to the individual under this chapter for a week of total
unemployment in the applicable benefit year.
b. Except for the first two weeks of an interstate claim for
extended benefits filed in any state under the interstate benefit
payment plan and payable from an individual's extended benefit
account, the individual is not eligible for extended benefits payable
under the interstate claim if an extended benefit period is not in
effect in that state.
5. Beginning and termination of extended benefit period. If
an extended benefit period is to become effective in Iowa as a result
of the state "on" indicator, or an extended benefit period is to be
terminated in Iowa as a result of the state "off" indicator, the
department shall make an appropriate public announcement.
Computations required by this subsection shall be made by the
department in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United
States secretary of labor.
6. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, if the
benefit year of an individual ends within an eligibility period for
extended benefits, the remaining extended benefits which the
individual would, but for this section, be entitled to receive in
that portion of the eligibility period which extends beyond the end
of the individual's benefit year, shall be reduced, but not below
zero, by the number of weeks for which the individual received
federal trade readjustment allowances, under 19 U.S.C. § 2101 et
seq., as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981,
within the individual's benefit year multiplied by the individual's
weekly extended benefit amount.
