(a) Except as otherwise provided by this article and
regulation of the commission, regular benefit claim and payment
provisions of this act apply to extended benefits.
(b) An eligible individual's weekly extended benefit
amount for a week of total unemployment in his eligibility
period is equal to his weekly benefit amount payable during the
applicable benefit year except as hereafter provided:
(i) If the amount of extended benefits reimbursed by
the federal government under the federal-state extended
unemployment compensation act is reduced or increased, then an
eligible claimant's weekly and potential maximum extended
benefit amount shall be similarly reduced or increased by an
amount sufficient to assure that the federal government and the
state of Wyoming share the cost on an equal basis. The reduced
weekly extended benefit amount, if not a full dollar amount,
shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of one dollar
($1.00);
(ii) The provisions in W.S. 27-3-509(c) which
determine the reimbursable rate of certain employers shall not
be affected by paragraph (i) of this subsection.
(c) An eligible individual's total extended benefit amount
for his applicable benefit year is the lesser of:
(i) Fifty percent (50%) of his total amount of
regular benefits under this article in the applicable benefit
year; or
(ii) Thirteen (13) times his weekly benefit amount
under this article for a week of total unemployment in the
applicable benefit year. A reduction in an eligible claimant's
weekly and potential maximum extended benefit amount, resulting
from the application of paragraph (b)(i) of this section, will
not increase the number of weeks of extended benefit entitlement
beyond that specified in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this
subsection.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this act and if
the benefit year of an individual ends within an extended
benefit period, the remaining balance of extended benefits the
individual is otherwise entitled to receive in that extended
benefit period for unemployment beginning after the end of the
benefit year shall be reduced by the product of the number of
weeks he received an amount as trade readjustment allowances
within that benefit year multiplied by his weekly extended
benefit amount. Extended benefits shall not be reduced below
zero by reason of this subsection.
