                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
 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. 617.14  Maximum amount of TRA.

    (a) General rule. Except as provided under paragraph (b) of this 
section, the maximum amount of TRA payable to an individual under a 
certification shall be the amount determined by:
    (1) Multiplying by 52 the weekly amount of TRA payable to such 
individual for a week of total unemployment, as determined under 
Sec. 617.13(a); and
    (2) Subtracting from the product derived under paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section, the total sum of UI to which the individual was entitled 
(or would have been entitled if the individual had applied therefor) in 
the individual's first benefit period described in Sec. 617.11(a)(1)(iv) 
or, as appropriate, Sec. 617.11(a)(2)(iv). The individual's full 
entitlement shall be subtracted under this paragraph, without regard to 
the amount, if any, that was actually paid to the individual with 
respect to such benefit period.
    (b) Exceptions. The maximum amount of TRA determined under paragraph 
(a) of this section will not include:
    (1) The amount of dependents' allowances paid as a supplement to the 
base weekly amount determined under Sec. 617.13(a);
    (2) The amount of the difference between the individual's weekly 
increased allowances determined under Sec. 617.13(b) and the 
individual's weekly

amount determined under Sec. 617.13(a); and
    (3) The amounts paid for additional weeks determined under 
Sec. 617.15(b);

but nothing in this paragraph (b) shall affect an individual's 
eligibility for such supplemental, increased or additional allowances.
    (c) Reduction for Federal training allowance. (1) If a training 
allowance referred to in Sec. 617.13(c)(2) is paid to an individual for 
any week of unemployment with respect to which the individual would be 
entitled (determined without regard to any disqualification under 
Sec. 617.18(b)(2)) to TRA, if the individual applied for TRA for such 
week, each week shall be deducted from the total number of weeks of TRA 
otherwise payable to the individual.
    (2) If the training allowance referred to in paragraph (c)(1) of 
this section is less than the amount of TRA otherwise payable to the 
individual for such week, the individual shall, when the individual 
applies for TRA for such week, be paid TRA in an amount not to exceed 
the amount equal to the difference between the individual's regular 
weekly TRA amount, as determined under Sec. 617.13(a), and the amount of 
the training allowance paid to the individual for such week, as provided 
in section 232(c) of the Act.
