Rule 871-24.31 - Subsequent benefit year condition

(1) The claimant must have been paid benefits on a previous claim.

Vacation pay, severance pay and bonuses are not considered as wages for second benefit year requalification purposes.

(3) Insured work means insured work in any state.

(4) Employment for a railroad under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act is insured work.

(5) The amount equal to eight times the claimant's weekly benefit amount from the claimant's previous benefit year in insured work need not be in addition to the qualifying wages for the establishment of a second benefit year.

(6) Disqualification for lack of eight times the claimant's weekly benefit amount from the claimant's previous benefit year in insured work shall be removed upon the verification that the claimant worked in and has been paid wages for insured work totaling eight times the claimant's weekly benefit amount from the claimant's previous benefit year during or subsequent to the previous benefit year.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code section 96.4(4).
