61-6-15.3. Training extension benefits. In addition to and subsequent to payment of all benefits otherwise allowed under this chapter and without restriction with respect to an individual's benefit year, training extension benefits shall be payable to any individual if all of the following criteria are met:
(1) The individual is unemployed;
(2) The individual has exhausted all rights to regular and extended benefits;
(3) The individual is enrolled, no later than the end of the benefit year established with respect to the separation that makes the individual eligible for the training benefit, and making satisfactory progress, as determined by the secretary, in a training program approved by the department, or in a job training program authorized under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. Each such training program shall prepare the individual who has been separated from a declining occupation, as determined by the department, or who has been involuntarily and indefinitely separated from employment as a result of a permanent reduction of operations at the individual's place of employment, for entry into a high-demand occupation, as determined by the department; and
(4) The individual is not receiving similar stipends or other training allowances for nontraining costs.
The amount of unemployment compensation payable under this section to an individual for a week of unemployment shall be equal to the individual's weekly benefit amount for the individual's most recent benefit year, less deductible earnings or income, if any. The total amount payable under this section to any individual shall be equal to twenty-six times the individual's weekly benefit amount for the individual's most recent benefit year. The former employer's experience-rating account may not be charged for benefits paid under this section.
