 CHAPTER V--EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 617--TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE FOR WORKERS UNDER THE TRADE ACT OF 1974--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart B--Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA)
 
Sec. 617.13  Weekly amounts of TRA.

    (a) Regular allowance. The amount of TRA payable for a week of total 
unemployment (including a week of training approved under subpart C of 
this part 617 or under the provisions of the applicabIe State law) shall 
be an amount equal to the most recent weekly benefit amount of UI 
(including dependents' allowances) payable to the individual for a week 
of total unemployment preceding the individual's first exhaustion of UI 
following the individual's first qualifying separation: Provided, that 
in a State in which weeks of UI are paid in varying amounts related to 
wages with separate employers, the weekly amount of TRA shall be 
calculated as it would be to pay extended compensation: Provided, 
further, that where a State calculates a base amount of UI and 
calculates dependents' allowances on a weekly supplemental basis. TRA 
weekly benefit amounts shall be calculated in the same manner and under 
the same terms and conditions as apply to claimants for UI, except that 
the base amount shall not change.
    (b) Increased allowance. An individual in training approved under 
subpart C of this part 617 who is thereby entitled for any week to TRA 
and a training allowance under any other Federal law for the training of 
workers shall be paid in the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this 
section or, if greater, the amount to which the individual would be 
entitled under such other Federal law if the individual applied for such 
allowance, as provided in section 232(b) of the Act. A payment under 
this paragraph (b) shall be in lieu of any training allowance to which 
the individual is entitled under such other Federal law.
    (c) Reduction of amount. An amount of TRA payabIe under paragraph 
(a) or (b) of this section for any week shall be reduced (but not below 
zero) by:
    (1) Income that is deductible from UI under the disqualifying income 
provisions of the applicable State law or Federal unemployment 
compensation law;
    (2) The amount of a training allowance (other than a training 
allowance referred to in paragraph (b) of this section) under any 
Federal law that the individual receives for such week, as provided in 
section 232(c) of the Act. This paragraph (c) shall apply to Veterans 
Educational Assistance, Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational 
Opportunity Grants, and other training allowances under any Federal law 
other than for the training of workers; and
    (3) Any amount that would be deductible from UI for days of absence 
from training under the provisions of the applicable State law which 
apply to individuals in approved training.
