by weeks, but only if, and to the extent that, such amount would be 
deducted from regular compensation payable under the applicable State 
law.
    (6) The prorated amount of primary benefits under title II of the

    (b) Disqualification. (1) An individual shall not be entitled to DUA 
for any week after the week in which the individual is reemployed in a 
suitable position.
    (2) An individual who refuses without good cause to accept a bona

to investigate or accept a referral to a position which is suitable to 
and available to the individual, shall not be entitled to DUA with 
respect to the week in which such refusal occurs or in any subsequent 
week in the Disaster Assistance Period. For the purposes of this 
paragraph, a position shall not be deemed to be suitable for an 
individual if the circumstances present any unusual risk to the health, 
safety, or morals of the individual, if it is impracticable for the 
individual to accept the position, or if acceptance for the position 
would, as to the individual, be inconsistent with any labor standard in 
section 3304(a)(5) of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, 26 U.S.C. 
3304(a)(5), or the comparable provisions of the applicable State law.
