Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) An
				individual shall be ineligible for benefits with respect to any week for which
				the individual receives or is entitled to receive any of the following payments
				whose aggregate amount is equal to or exceeds such individual's weekly benefit
				amount:
1) Payments made during an announced
				shutdown for inventory or vacation purposes which are treated as wages under
				Section
				2920.25;
2) Payments made in connection with any
				separation or layoff as, or in the nature of, vacation pay, vacation pay
				allowance, or pay in lieu of vacation treated as wages under Section
				2920.30
				which are made during a period designated by the employer;
3) Holiday pay treated as wages under Section
				2920.35;
4) Wages for services performed by an
				individual for any week of less than full time work except those wages for
				"services performed by an individual in self-employment" as defined by Section
				2920.1.
A) Example 1: An individual files for
				benefits after a layoff and the weekly benefit amount is $130.00. The
				individual is eligible to receive 3 days of vacation pay at $50.00 per day
				during the week in question, an amount which would be treated as wages under
				Section 2920.25. The individual is ineligible to receive benefits or waiting
				week credit under this subsection with respect to that week because the
				entitlement to $150.00 in vacation pay treated as wages under Section
				2920.25
				exceeds the weekly benefit amount.
B) Example 2: An individual files for
				benefits after a layoff. The weekly benefit amount is $130.00. The individual
				performs services which are not employment under Section 212 of the Act. Even
				if the individual receives or is entitled to receive payments for these
				services in amounts in excess of the weekly benefit amount, the individual is
				not ineligible for benefits under this subsection because the services
				performed by the individual were in self-employment and hence the remuneration
				received for these services does not render the individual ineligible for
				benefits under subsection (a)(4). The individual may, however, be ineligible
				under Section 500 of the Act, if he is not able to, available for, or actively
				seeking work.
C) Example 3: An
				individual files for benefits after a layoff. The weekly benefit amount is
				$130.00. With respect to the week in question, the individual is entitled to
				receive 1 day of holiday pay of $50.00 per day, an amount which would be
				treated as wages under Section 2920.35, and 2 days of vacation pay at $50.00
				per day, an amount which would be treated as wages under Section 2920.30. The
				individual is ineligible to receive benefits during that week under this
				subsection because the entitlement to the sum of $150.00 in holiday and
				vacation pay exceeds the weekly benefit amount.
D) Example 4: An individual files for
				benefits after a layoff. The weekly benefit amount is $130.00. The individual
				is entitled to receive $100.00 in vacation pay treated as wages under Section
				2920.30
				for that week and also receives $50.00 in wages for services performed in
				employment during that week. The individual's services are for less than
				full-time work. The individual is ineligible for benefits for that week under
				this subsection because the entitlement to $100.00 in vacation pay plus the
				receipt of $50.00 in wages for performing services for less than full-time work
				equals $150.00, an amount which exceeds the weekly benefit amount.
