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.
