1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, the weekly extended benefit amount payable to a person for a week of total unemployment in the person’s eligibility period is:

(a)The basic weekly benefit amount or the augmented weekly benefit amount, whichever is appropriate, payable to the person for the applicable benefit year; or

(b)The average of the weekly benefit amounts for weeks of total unemployment payable in the applicable benefit year if the person was entitled to more than one weekly rate. If the amount computed in accordance with this paragraph is not a multiple of $1 it must be computed to the next lower multiple of $1.

2. For any week during a period in which federal payments made to this State pursuant to section 204 of the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970, Public Law 91-373, as amended, are reduced pursuant to an order issued pursuant to section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, Public Law 99-177, as amended, the weekly extended benefit amount payable to a person for a week of total unemployment in the person’s eligibility period must be reduced by a percentage equal to the percentage of the reduction in the federal payment.

If the reduced weekly extended benefit amount computed in accordance with this subsection is not a multiple of $1 it must be computed to the next lower multiple of $1.

3. The Administrator shall provide timely notice to any person whose weekly extended benefit amount is reduced pursuant to subsection 2. The notice must:

(a)Inform the person of the reduction in his or her weekly extended benefit amount;

(b)Include the specific calculation of the reduced weekly extended benefit amount;

(c)Inform the person of his or her right to appeal the calculation of the reduced weekly benefit amount pursuant to subsection 4; and

(d)State that an appeal of the reduction itself, which is required by sequestration pursuant to the order issued pursuant to section 254 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, Public Law 99-177, as amended, will not succeed, as such a reduction is mandated by federal law.

4. A person whose weekly extended benefit amount has been reduced pursuant to subsection 2 may appeal the calculation of the reduced weekly extended benefit amount. The appeal must be made in the manner provided in this chapter for the appeals from determinations of benefit status. Such an appeal must be limited to the calculation of the reduced weekly extended benefit amount and may not address the reduction itself.
