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

Summary

Railroad workers who used up their Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act benefits after June 30, 1960 and before April 1, 1962 can get extra unemployment payments under this law. They may receive benefits for up to 65 days. The total extra paid cannot be more than 50% of the total unemployment benefits that were payable to them in the benefit year when they last exhausted their railroad benefits before making their first claim here. These extra days must be in registration periods that begin on or after the 15th day after March 24, 1961 and before April 1, 1962, and must not be days they would otherwise get railroad benefits for. If a worker is eligible for a day before April 1, 1962, they may also get benefits for registration periods that begin before July 1, 1962. Combined payments under the railroad law and this law cannot go over 195 times the worker’s daily benefit rate for that benefit year. If a worker filed a first claim under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1961, they cannot later make a claim under this rule. Likewise, if they have a claim under this rule, they cannot later claim under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1961. Rules from the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act apply to how this is run, except where they conflict with these limits.
