§401 Payment of Compensation; Eligibility; Duration; Maximum Aggregate Amount Payable; Duplication of Benefits; Application of Railroad Unemployment Insurance Provisions

Summary

Railroad workers covered by the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act who used up their railroad unemployment benefits after June 30, 1960 and before April 1, 1962 can get extra unemployment payments. They may be paid up to 65 days of benefits, but the total allowed under this rule cannot be more than 50 percent of the total unemployment benefits they were paid in the benefit year when they last exhausted their railroad benefits before filing their first claim here. The extra days must fall in registration periods that start on or after the 15th day after March 24, 1961 and before April 1, 1962. If a worker is entitled to a day before April 1, 1962, they may get benefits for registration periods that begin before July 1, 1962. Payments under this rule, when added to any railroad unemployment benefits already paid in the same benefit year, cannot exceed 195 times the worker’s daily benefit rate for that year. A person who filed a first claim under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1961 cannot later use this rule, and someone who used this rule cannot later file under that 1961 Act. The rules of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act apply to how these payments are handled, unless they conflict with what is written here.
