    This part sets forth the base year service and compensation required 
of an employee to qualify for benefits under the Railroad Unemployment 
Insurance Act with respect to a benefit year. Under the Act, only 
employees who satisfy the qualifying conditions of section 3 of the Act 
may be paid benefits. No provision is made for payment of dependents 
benefits for an employee's spouse or children. A qualified employee who 
claims benefits must demonstrate that he or she is eligible for benefits 
in accordance with the other provisions of the Act and this chapter. 
However, a qualified employee who is disqualified under any of the 
provisions of section 4 of the Act does not forfeit his or her status as 
a qualified employee.
