Sec. 242.
"Benefit year" with respect to any individual means the one-year period
beginning with the first day of the week with respect to which the
individual first files a valid claim for benefits and, thereafter, the
one-year period beginning with the first day of the week with respect to
which such individual again files a valid claim after the termination of
his last preceding benefit year or, in the case of an individual all of
whose benefit rights or any remaining portion thereof have been canceled
pursuant to the provisions of Section 602B, the one-year period beginning
with the first day of the week with respect to which such individual again
files a valid claim. Any claim for benefits made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 700 shall be deemed to be a "valid claim" for the
purposes of this paragraph if the individual has met the requirements of
Section 500 E.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, "benefit year"
means the benefit year as defined in the unemployment compensation law of
any State under which benefits are payable to an individual on the basis of
a combination of his wages pursuant to an arrangement described in Section
2700 F.
