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 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.
