§ 1344. Disqualifications

(a) An individual shall be disqualified for benefits:

(1) For not more than 12 weeks nor less than six weeks immediately following the filing of a claim for benefits (in addition to the waiting period) as may be determined by the commissioner according to the circumstances in each case, if the commissioner finds that:

(A) He or she has been discharged by his or her last employing unit for misconduct connected with his or her work; or

(B) He or she was separated from his or her last employing unit because he or she became unable to perform all or an essential part of his or her normal duties in such employment without good cause attributable to such employing unit because of the consequences which flow from his or her conviction of a felony or misdemeanor or from an action or order of a judge or court in any criminal or civil matter. In the event a conviction or the action or order of any judge or court in any criminal or civil matter is rescinded or expunged, the individual may be eligible for benefits from the time the individual would have otherwise been eligible for benefits.

(2) For any week benefits are claimed, except as provided in subdivision (a)(3) of this section, until he or she has presented evidence to the satisfaction of the commissioner that he or she has performed services in employment for a bona fide employer and has had earnings in excess of six times his or her weekly benefit amount if the commissioner finds that such individual is unemployed because:

(A) He or she has left the employ of his or her last employing unit voluntarily without good cause attributable to such employing unit. An individual shall not suffer more than one disqualification by reason of such separation.

(B) He or she has been discharged by his or her last employing unit for gross misconduct connected with his or her work. An individual shall not suffer more than one disqualification by reason of such separation.

(C) He or she has failed, without good cause, either to apply for available, suitable work when so directed by the employment office or the commissioner, or to accept suitable work when offered him or her, or has during the course of a job interview for available employment made verbal statements which are either untrue, show an unreasonable lack of interest, or are calculated to preclude an offer of work or a directive being made, or to return to his or her customary self-employment, if any, when so directed by the commissioner. An individual shall not suffer more than one disqualification for these causes.

(D) In determining whether or not any work or employment is suitable for an individual for purposes of this subdivision, the commissioner shall consider the degree of risk involved to his or her health, safety and morals, his or her physical fitness and prior training, his or her experience and prior earnings, his or her length of unemployment and prospects for securing local work in his or her customary occupation, and the distance of the available work from his or her residence.

(E) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, no work shall be deemed suitable and benefits shall not be denied under this chapter to any otherwise eligible individual for refusing to accept new work under any of the following conditions:

(i) If the position offered is vacant due directly to a strike, lockout or other dispute;

(ii) If the wages, hours or other conditions of the work offered are substantially less favorable to the individual than those prevailing for similar work in the locality;

(iii) If as a condition of being employed the individual would be required to join a union or to resign from or refrain from joining any bona fide labor organization.

(F) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, no otherwise eligible individual shall be denied benefits for any week because:

(i) he or she is in training approved under section 236(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974;

(ii) nor shall such individual be denied benefits with respect to any week in which he or she is in such approved training by reason of leaving work to enter such training provided the work left is not suitable employment, as defined in section 236(a)(3) of the Trade Act of 1974; or

(iii) because of the application to any such week in training of provisions in this law (or any federal unemployment insurance law administered by this agency), relating to availability for work, active search for work, or refusal to accept work.

Provided that, benefits paid to an eligible claimant regularly attending a training course approved under the Trade Act, following a refusal of work, or leaving of unsuitable work, shall not be charged against the experience-rating record of any employer, but shall be charged to the fund.

(3) For not more than six weeks nor less than one week immediately following the filing of a claim for benefits (in addition to the waiting period) as may be determined by the commissioner according to the circumstances in each case, if the commissioner finds that he or she has left the employ of his or her last employing unit, without good cause attributable to such employing unit, because of a health condition, as certified by a health care provider, as defined in subdivision 9432(8) of Title 18, which precludes the discharge of duties inherent in such employment.

(4) For any week with respect to which the commissioner finds that his or her total or partial unemployment is due to a stoppage of work which exists because of a labor dispute at the factory, establishment or other premises at which he or she is or was last employed, provided that this subdivision shall not apply if:

(A) the individual is not participating in or financing or directly interested in the labor dispute which caused the stoppage of work; or

(B) the stoppage of work was due solely to a lockout, effected by the employer in order to gain some concession from employees. A lockout does not include a temporary suspension of work in response to:

(i) actual or imminent damage to property of the employer; or

(ii) a purposeful effort by employees to reduce productivity.

(5) For any week with respect to which he or she is receiving or has received remuneration in the form of:

(A) Wages in lieu of notice; or

(B) Vacation pay or holiday pay; or

(i) Vacation pay due at time of separation in accordance with a work agreement (whether a formal contract or established custom) shall be allocated to the period immediately following separation, or if due subsequent to separation, it shall be allocated to the week in which due or the next following week, and that number of weeks immediately following as required to equal the total of the weeks of pay due. Any mutual agreement between the employer and employee(s) (whether or not payment is made), allocating such remuneration to any period during which work is performed, within four weeks prior to the date of separation, shall not be valid for the purpose of determining unemployment compensation entitlement or waiting period credit purposes and such payment shall be allocated to the period immediately following separation.

(ii) There shall be no disqualification amount for any holiday.

(C) Back pay award or settlement; or

(i) Back pay awards and settlements shall be allocated to the week(s) and in the manner as specified in the order or agreement, or, in the absence of such specificity, to the week(s) and in the manner which, in the judgment of the commissioner, would be reasonable.

(D) Compensation for temporary partial disability or temporary total disability under the workers' compensation law of any state or under a similar law of the United States;

(E) A pension (which shall include a governmental or other pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity, or any other similar periodic payment) under a plan maintained or contributed to by a base period or chargeable employer. The weekly benefit amount payable to such individual for such week shall be reduced (but not below zero):

(i) by the entire prorated weekly amount of the pension if no contributions to the plan were made by the individual; or

(ii) by no part of the pension if the entire contributions to the plan were provided by such individual, or by the individual and an employer (or any other person or organization); or

(iii) by no part of the pension if the services performed by the individual during the base period (or remuneration received for such services) for such employer did not affect the individual's eligibility for, or increase the amount of, such pension, retirement or retired pay, annuity, or similar payment.

Provided that if such remuneration specified in this subdivision, (after applying the provisions of this subdivision) is less than the benefits which would otherwise be due under this chapter, he or she shall be entitled to receive for such week, if otherwise eligible, benefits reduced by the amount of such remuneration (after applying the provisions of this subdivision) after rounding such remuneration to the next higher dollar and the provisions of subdivision 1301(9) and sections 1338a and 1339 of this title do not apply.

(F) A cash severance payment, unless and to the extent the paying employer elects to treat it as nondisqualifying or unless it is paid in accordance with a work agreement (whether a formal contract or established custom).

(6) For any week with respect to which or a part of which he or she has received or is seeking to receive unemployment benefits under an unemployment compensation law of another state or of the United States provided that if the appropriate agency of such other state or of the United States finally determines that he or she is not entitled to such unemployment benefits, this disqualification shall not apply.

(b) In periods of "high level unemployment" an individual shall be disqualified for benefits for not more than 12 nor less than six consecutive weeks immediately following the filing of a claim for benefits, as may be determined by the commissioner according to the circumstances, when it is found that he or she would otherwise be disqualified under the provisions of (2)(A) of subsection (a) above, and except that the disqualification provided by this subdivision shall terminate if an individual has performed service in any employment as provided by subdivision (a)(2) of this section.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, any individual who has been disqualified for regular or extended benefits pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (1) or (3) of subsection (a) shall not be eligible to receive extended benefits with respect to any week of unemployment in his or her eligibility period unless he or she has been employed after the beginning date of such disqualification and has earned in excess of four times his or her weekly benefit amount.
