PART 325_REGISTRATION FOR RAILROAD UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS--Table of 

Contents

 

Sec.  325.2  Procedure for registering for unemployment benefits.



    (a) Registering as unemployed. To claim unemployment benefits for 

any day, an employee must register as unemployed by doing the following:

    (1) Apply for unemployment benefits and employment service in 

accordance with Sec.  325.3;

    (2) File a claim in accordance with Sec.  325.4; and

    (3) Provide any other information that the Board needs to properly 

adjudicate his or her right to unemployment benefits.

    (b) No benefits payable without registration. No unemployment 

benefits shall be paid to any otherwise qualified employee with respect 

to any day claimed as a day of unemployment, and no waiting period 

credit shall be allowed, until such time as the employee has complied 

with the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section.

    (c) When a registration period may begin. When registering for 

unemployment benefits, an employee may claim benefits for any calendar 

day on which he or she is unemployed and believes himself or herself to 

be eligible for benefits. A registration period may begin as early as 

the first calendar day on which an employee is unemployed following his 

or her last day of work even though such first calendar day would have 

been a rest day if the employee had not become unemployed. However, a 

registration period may not begin with any calendar day with respect to 

which an employee has received or will receive remuneration.



    Example 1. An employee whose rest days are Saturday and Sunday is 

laid off on Friday, September 2, after working his regular shift on that 

day. His first 14-day registration period could start as early as 

Saturday, September 3. A registration period starting on September 3 

would end on September 16. If he continues to be unemployed, his next 

registration period could begin September 17 and end September 30, and 

so forth.

    Example 2. An employee whose rest days are Saturday and Sunday is 

laid off on Friday, September 2, but he decides to take two weeks' 

vacation pay covering days through Friday, September 16. Because he will 

have received remuneration for days through September 16, his claim for 

unemployment benefits could begin on Saturday, September 17, if he 

continues to be unemployed after his vacation ends.

    Example 3. An employee whose rest days are Saturday and Sunday is 

laid off on Monday, September 5, after working his regular shift on that 

day. His first 14-day registration period could begin on Tuesday, 

September 6, the first day on which he was unemployed following his last 

day of work.
