§ 40-2-717. Total amount of extended benefits payable.

TOTAL AMOUNT OF EXTENDED BENEFITS PAYABLE.  The total extended benefit amount payable to any eligible individual with respect to his applicable benefit year shall be the least of the following amounts:

(1)  fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of regular benefits which were payable to him under this act, during his applicable benefit year;

(2)  thirteen (13) times his average weekly benefit amount as determined in subsection (1) of this section which was payable to him under this act, for a week of total unemployment during such benefit year;

(3)  thirty-nine (39) times his average weekly benefit amount as determined in subsection (1) of Section 2-716 payable to him under this act, for a week of total unemployment during such benefit year, reduced by the regular benefits paid, or deemed paid, to him during such benefit year.

(4)  If an individual is entitled to more extended benefits as a result of an appeal which afforded him more regular benefits, an appropriate change shall be made in the individual's total extended benefit amount.

(5)  If an individual who has received extended benefits for a week or weeks of unemployment is determined to be entitled to more regular benefits with respect to such week or weeks as the result of an appeal, the extended benefits paid to him shall be treated as if they were regular benefits up to the greater amount of regular benefits to which he has been determined to be entitled.  If the individual is entitled to more extended benefits as a result of being entitled to more regular benefits, the total extended benefit amount payable to him shall be amended accordingly.
