                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
 CHAPTER V--EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 615--EXTENDED BENEFITS IN THE FEDERAL-STATE UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 615.4  Eligibility requirements for Extended Benefits.

    (a) General. An individual is entitled to Extended Benefits for a 
week of unemployment which begins in the individual's eligibility period 
if, with respect to such week, the individual is an exhaustee as defined 
in Sec. 615.5, files a timely claim for Extended Benefits, and satisfies 
the pertinent requirements of the applicable State law which are 
consistent with the Act and this part.
    (b) Qualifying for Extended Benefits. The State law shall specify 
whether an individual qualifies for Extended Benefits by earnings and 
employment in the base period for the individual's applicable benefit 
year as required by section 202(a)(5) of the Act, (and if it does not 
also apply this requirement to the payment of sharable regular benefits, 
the State will not be entitled to a payment under Sec. 615.14), as 
follows:
    (1) One and one-half times the high quarter wages; or
    (2) Forty times the most recent weekly benefit amount, and if this 
alternative is adopted, it shall use the weekly benefit amount 
(including dependents' allowances) payable for a week of total 
unemployment (before any reduction because of earnings, pensions or 
other requirements) which applied to the most recent week of regular 
benefits; or
    (3) Twenty weeks of full-time insured employment, and if this 
alternative is adopted, the term ``full-time'' shall have the meaning 
provided by the State law.
