				the wages will be allocated in equal proportion to all weeks during which the
				services were actually performed.
(b) Extension of the base period of an
				individual will be made according to the following standards:
(1) An individual will be considered
				incapable of work during the greater part of his working time in a calendar
				quarter if he was unable to work for at least seven weeks during the calendar
				quarter because of an incapacitating illness or injury.
(2) A medical certification, signed by a
				physician, will be required as evidence of incapacity.
(3) The extension of the base period may not
				exceed one calendar quarter for each calendar quarter of incapacity, and in no
				case will the extension exceed the 12-month period immediately before the base
				period.
(4) The first quarter
				immediately before the base period will be the first to be included in the
				extension, with the next preceding quarters included in regular regression for
				each quarter of incapacity. However, if the individual was incapacitated for
				the greater part of a quarter to be included in the extension, that quarter
				will be omitted and the next preceding quarter used if this action will benefit
				the individual. A quarter may not be omitted for any other reason.
(5) Wages earned in a quarter included in the
				extension of the base period will be added to any wages earned in the
				corresponding quarter of incapacity in the regular base period.

				wages reused in the current determination by the total amount of base period
				wages used in the earlier determination;

(3) leaving work due to safety or other
				working conditions or an employment agreement related directly to the work, if

				the work not materializing must not be due to the fault of the
				worker;
(8) other factors listed in
				AS
				23.20.385(b).
