Section
96.3,
subsection
5,
paragraph
a,
Code
4
2023,
is
amended
to
read
as
follows:
5
a.
Duration
of
benefits.
The
maximum
total
amount
of
6
benefits
payable
to
an
eligible
individual
during
a
benefit
7
year
shall
not
exceed
the
total
of
the
wage
credits
accrued
8
to
the
individual’s
account
during
the
individual’s
base
9
period,
or
sixteen
twenty
times
the
individual’s
weekly
benefit
10
amount,
whichever
is
the
lesser.
The
director
shall
maintain
11
a
separate
account
for
each
individual
who
earns
wages
in
12
insured
work.
The
director
shall
compute
wage
credits
for
13
each
individual
by
crediting
the
individual’s
account
with
14
one-third
of
the
wages
for
insured
work
paid
to
the
individual
15
during
the
individual’s
base
period.
However,
the
director
16
shall
recompute
wage
credits
for
an
individual
who
is
laid
17
off
due
to
the
individual’s
employer
going
out
of
business
at
18
the
factory,
establishment,
or
other
premises
at
which
the
19
individual
was
last
employed,
by
crediting
the
individual’s
20
account
with
one-half,
instead
of
one-third,
of
the
wages
for
21
insured
work
paid
to
the
individual
during
the
individual’s
22
base
period.
Benefits
paid
to
an
eligible
individual
shall
23
be
charged
against
the
base
period
wage
credits
in
the
24
individual’s
account
which
have
not
been
previously
charged,
25
in
the
inverse
chronological
order
as
the
wages
on
which
the
26
wage
credits
are
based
were
paid.
However
if
the
state
“off”
27
indicator
is
in
effect
and
if
the
individual
is
laid
off
due
to
28
the
individual’s
employer
going
out
of
business
at
the
factory,
29
establishment,
or
other
premises
at
which
the
individual
was
30
last
employed,
the
maximum
benefits
payable
shall
be
extended
31
to
twenty-six
thirty-three
times
the
individual’s
weekly
32
benefit
amount,
but
not
to
exceed
the
total
of
the
wage
credits
33
accrued
to
the
individual’s
account.
