1 1 Amend Senate File 196 as follows:
1 2 #1. Page 3, by inserting after line 16 the
1 3 following:
1 4 "Sec. . Section 96.3, subsection 5, Code 1995,
1 5 is amended to read as follows:
1 6 5. DURATION OF BENEFITS. The maximum total amount
1 7 of benefits payable to an eligible individual during a
1 8 benefit year shall not exceed the total of the wage
1 9 credits accrued to the individual's account during the
1 10 individual's base period, or twenty-six times the
1 11 individual's weekly benefit amount, or for purposes of
1 12 section 96.3A only twenty times the individual's
1 13 weekly benefit amount, whichever is the lesser. The
1 14 commissioner shall maintain a separate account for
1 15 each individual who earns wages in insured work. The
1 16 commissioner shall compute wage credits for each
1 17 individual by crediting the individual's account with
1 18 one-third of the wages for insured work paid to the
1 19 individual during the individual's base period.
1 20 However, the commissioner shall recompute wage credits
1 21 for an individual who is laid off due to the
1 22 individual's employer going out of business at the
1 23 factory, establishment, or other premises at which the
1 24 individual was last employed, by crediting the
1 25 individual's account with one-half, instead of one-
1 26 third, of the wages for insured work paid to the
1 27 individual during the individual's base period.
1 28 Benefits paid to an eligible individual shall be
1 29 charged against the base period wage credits in the
1 30 individual's account which have not been previously
1 31 charged, in the inverse chronological order as the
1 32 wages on which the wage credits are based were paid.
1 33 However if the state "off indicator" is in effect and
1 34 if the individual is laid off due to the individual's
1 35 employer going out of business at the factory,
1 36 establishment, or other premises at which the
1 37 individual was last employed, the maximum benefits
1 38 payable shall be extended to thirty-nine times the
1 39 individual's weekly benefit amount, or for purposes of
1 40 section 96.3A only thirty-three times the individual's
1 41 weekly benefit amount, but not to exceed the total of
1 42 the wage credits accrued to the individual's account."
1 43 #2. By renumbering as necessary.
