              ILLINOIS U.I. ACT Section 409
A-33 (12/11)
under the provisions of this subsection with respect to his rights to regular benefits, under such seasonality
provision, during the portion of the year in which that week occurs; or (c) having established a benefit year, no
regular benefits are payable to him with respect to such year because his wage credits were cancelled or his
rights to regular benefits were totally reduced by reason of the application of a disqualification provision of a
State unemployment compensation law.
D. 1. The provisions of Section 607 and the waiting period requirements of Section 500D shall not be applicable to
any week with respect to which benefits are otherwise payable under this Section.
2. An individual shall not cease to be an exhaustee with respect to any week solely because he meets the
qualifying wage requirements of Section 500E for a part of such week.
E. With respect to any week which begins in his eligibility period, an exhaustee's "weekly extended benefit amount"
shall be the same as his weekly benefit amount during his benefit year which includes such week or, if such week is
not in a benefit year, during his applicable benefit year, as defined in regulations issued by the United States
Secretary of Labor or other appropriate Federal agency. If the exhaustee had more than one weekly benefit amount
during his benefit year, his weekly extended benefit amount with respect to such week shall be the latest of such
weekly benefit amounts.
F. 1. An eligible exhaustee shall be entitled, during any eligibility period, to a maximum total amount of extended
benefits equal to the lesser of the following amounts:
a. Fifty percent of the maximum total amount of benefits to which he was entitled under Section 403B during
his applicable benefit year;
b. Thirteen times his weekly extended benefit amount as determined under subsection E; or
c. Thirty-nine times his or her average weekly extended benefit amount, reduced by the regular benefits (not
including any dependents' allowances) paid to him or her during such benefit year.
2. An eligible exhaustee shall be entitled, during a "high unemployment period", to a maximum total amount of
extended benefits equal to the lesser of the following amounts:
a. Eighty percent of the maximum total amount of benefits to which he or she was entitled under Section
403B during his or her applicable benefit year;
b. Twenty times his or her weekly extended benefit amount as determined under subsection E; or
c. Forty-six times his or her average weekly extended benefit amount, reduced by the regular benefits (not
including any dependents' allowances) paid to him or her during such benefit year.
For purposes of this paragraph, the term "high unemployment period" means any period during which (i) clause
(b) of paragraph (2) of subsection A is operative and (ii) an extended benefit period would be in effect if clause
(b) of paragraph (2) of subsection A of this Section were applied by substituting "8%" for "6.5%".
3. Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 2 of this subsection F, and if the benefit year of an individual ends within an
extended benefit period, the remaining balance of extended benefits that the individual would, but for this
subsection F, be otherwise entitled to receive in that extended benefit period, for weeks of unemployment
beginning after the end of the benefit year, shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the product of the number
of weeks for which the individual received any amounts as trade readjustment allowances as defined in the
federal Trade Act of 1974 within that benefit year multiplied by his weekly benefit amount for extended
benefits.
G. 1. A claims adjudicator shall examine the first claim filed by an individual with respect to his eligibility period
and, on the basis of the information in his possession, shall make an "extended benefits finding". Such finding
shall state whether or not the individual has met the requirement of subsection B(1), is an exhaustee and, if he
is, his weekly extended benefit amount and the maximum total amount of extended benefits to which he is
entitled. The claims adjudicator shall promptly notify the individual of his "extended benefits finding", and shall
promptly notify the individual's most recent employing unit and the individual's last employer (referred to in
Section 1502.1) that the individual has filed a claim for extended benefits. The claims adjudicator may
reconsider his "extended benefits finding" at any time within one year after the close of the individual's
eligibility period, and shall promptly notify the individual of such reconsidered finding. All of the provisions of
this Act applicable to reviews from findings or reconsidered findings made pursuant to Sections 701 and 703
which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this subsection shall be applicable to reviews from extended
benefits findings and reconsidered extended benefits findings.
