8    period shall also include such other weeks as federal law
9    may allow.

14    this State by the Federal Government or would have been
15    wholly reimbursed to this State by the Federal Government
16    if the employer had paid all of the claimant's wages during
17    the applicable base period. Extended benefits shall not
18    become benefit charges under Section 1501.1 if they are
19    wholly reimbursed to this State by the Federal Government
20    or would have been wholly reimbursed to this State by the
21    Federal Government if the employer had paid all of the

15    under such seasonality provision, during the portion of the
16    year in which that week occurs; or (c) having established a

22be otherwise entitled to receive in that extended benefit
23period, for weeks of unemployment beginning after the end of
24the benefit year, shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the

9    met the requirement of subsection B(1), is an exhaustee
10    and, if he is, his weekly extended benefit amount and the
11    maximum total amount of extended benefits to which he is

14    promptly notify the individual's most recent employing
15    unit and the individual's last employer (referred to in

19    after the close of the individual's eligibility period, and
20    shall promptly notify the individual of such reconsidered
21    finding. All of the provisions of this Act applicable to

4    regular benefits and, by reason thereof, is entitled to
5    more extended benefits, the claims adjudicator shall make a
6    reconsidered extended benefits finding and shall promptly
7    notify the exhaustee thereof.
8    H. Whenever an extended benefit period is to begin in this

12appropriate public announcement.

23    residence to work in another state and continues to reside
24    in such state of residence while filing his claim for
25    unemployment insurance under this Section of the Act shall
26    not be considered filing a claim under the Interstate

2    continues to report to the employment office under the
3    regulations applicable to intrastate claimants in the
4    state in which he was so employed.
5        3. "State" when used in this subsection includes States
6    of the United States of America, the District of Columbia,
7    Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. For purposes of this
8    subsection, the term "state" shall also be construed to
9    include Canada.
10        4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an
11    individual shall be eligible for a maximum of 2 weeks of
12    benefits payable under this Section after he files his
13    initial claim for extended benefits in an extended benefit
14    period, as defined in paragraph 1 of subsection A, under
15    the Interstate Benefit Payment Plan unless there also
16    exists an extended benefit period, as defined in paragraph
17    1 of subsection A, in the state where such claim is filed.
18    Such maximum eligibility shall continue as long as the
19    individual continues to file his claim under the Interstate
20    Benefit Payment Plan, notwithstanding that the individual
21    moves to another state where an extended benefit period
22    exists and files for weeks prior to his initial Interstate
23    claim in that state.

11        (as defined in paragraph 3 below) or failed to apply
12        for any suitable work to which he was referred by the
13        Director; or
14            b. he failed to actively engage in seeking work as
15        prescribed under paragraph 5 below.
16        2. Any individual who has been found ineligible for
17    extended benefits by reason of the provisions of paragraph

21    subsequent weeks (whether or not consecutive) and has
22    earned remuneration equal to at least 4 times his weekly
23    benefit amount.
24        3. For purposes of this subsection only, the term

17        denied extended benefits for failure to accept an offer
18        of or apply for any job which meets the definition of
19        suitability as described above if:
20                (i) the position was not offered to such
21            individual in writing or was not listed with the

3                (iii) the individual furnishes satisfactory
4            evidence to the Director that his prospects for
5            obtaining work in his customary occupation within
6            a reasonably short period are good. If such

8            the determination of whether any work is suitable
9            with respect to such individual shall be made in
10            accordance with the definition of suitable work
11            for regular benefits in Section 603 without regard
12            to the definition specified by this paragraph.
13        4. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 3 to the

5    individual shall not be eligible to receive extended
6    benefits, otherwise payable under this Section, with
7    respect to any week of unemployment in his eligibility
8    period if such individual has been held ineligible for

10    of this Act until such individual had requalified for such
11    benefits by returning to employment and satisfying the
12    monetary requalification provision by earning at least his
13    weekly benefit amount.
14    L. The Governor may, if federal law so allows, elect, in
