R994-106-103. Restrictions on Combined Wage Claims

  (1) Any unemployed individual who has had covered employment in two or more states may file a combined wage claim unless:

  (a) he has established a claim under any other state;

  (b) the benefit year has not ended;

  (c) and there are still unused benefit rights.

  (2) Unused Benefit Rights.

  A claimant will not be considered to have unused benefit rights on a prior claim if:

  (a) all benefits have been exhausted, or

  (b) benefits have been denied by a seasonal restriction, or

  (c) benefits have been postponed for an indefinite period or for the remainder of the benefit year. A disqualification imposed because a claimant is not able to work or available for work is not considered a denial of a claimant's benefit rights.

  (3) Use of Wages in Paying State.

  If an individual files a combined wage claim, all wages and employment in all states during the base period of the paying state must be included. He may not select a paying state but must accept that state which is determined under Subsection 35A-4-106(1)(b) and R994-106-103.

  (4) Base Period for a Combined Wage Claim.

  The base period for a combined wage claim means the "base period" as established in the paying state.

  (5) Benefit Year for a Combined Wage Claim.

  The benefit year for a combined wage claim is the "benefit year" of the paying state.
