§ 815. Total extended benefit amount
Currentness
(a) Except as provided in subsection (a.1), the total extended benefit amount payable to any eligible individual with respect to his applicable benefit year shall be the least of the amounts determined under clauses (1), (2) or (3) and then such amount shall be reduced by subsection (b):
(1) fifty per centum of the total amount of regular benefits (plus dependents' allowances) which were payable to him under this act in his applicable benefit year;
(2) thirteen times his weekly benefit amount which was payable to him under this act for a week of total unemployment in the applicable benefit year; or
(3) thirty-nine times his weekly benefit amount (plus dependents' allowances) which was payable to him under this act for a week of total unemployment in the applicable benefit year, reduced by the total amount of regular benefits which were paid (or deemed paid) to him under this act with respect to the benefit year.
(a.1)(1) Effective with respect to weeks in a high unemployment period, subsection (a) shall be applied by substituting:
(i) “eighty per centum” for “fifty per centum” in subsection (a)(1);
(ii) “twenty” for “thirteen” in subsection (a)(2); and
(iii) “forty-six” for “thirty-nine” in subsection (a)(3).
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the term “high unemployment period” means any period during which an extended benefit period would be in effect if section 401-A(c)(1)(i)1 were applied by substituting “eight per centum” for “six and one-half per centum.”
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, if the benefit year of any individual ends within an extended benefit period, the remaining balance of extended benefits that such individual would, but for this section, be entitled to receive in that extended benefit period, with respect to weeks of unemployment beginning after the end of the benefit year, shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the product of the number of weeks for which the individual received trade readjustment allowances within that benefit year, multiplied by the individual's weekly benefit amount for extended benefits.
