Section 1202-10.0 - Week Defined
10.1 For the purposes of the claiming and payment of unemployment insurance benefits, "week" means:
10.1.1 Calendar week (beginning 12:01 a.m. Sunday morning); or
10.1.2 Any seven (7) consecutive day period with respect to which no wages are payable to an individual and during which he performs no services, which occurs within two (2) calendar weeks in each of which he earns wages equal to or in excess of his weekly benefit amount plus his partial earning allowance. Claims filed under this provision may be filed within twenty-eight (28) days following the close of the second of the calendar weeks in question; or
10.1.3 The Delaware Division of Unemployment Insurance may authorize the employer's payroll week for the payment of partial claims and temporary mass layoff claims.
10.2 Calendar week shall be used for the filing of claims and the payment of benefits under 1(a) above for all claims filed on or after July 1, 1972, except for those claims in current compensable status which will continue on a flexible week basis for the duration of their current period of unemployment.
10.3 Except in cases where claims are filed under 1(b) or 1(c) above, the claim series will begin with the first day of the calendar week in which an unemployed individual reports and registers and files his initial or reopened claim at a local employment office of the Delaware Division of Unemployment Insurance.
10.4 Whenever the benefit week overlaps two benefit years, such week shall, for the purpose of benefit payment with respect to such week, be deemed to be paid in the preceding benefit year; provided, that when the last day of the preceding benefit year falls within a benefit week with respect to which an individual has met the eligibility requirements of the Act, the ending date of the benefit year may be extended for a period not to exceed six (6) days; provided, however, that such inclusion of the week within the preceding benefit year shall not change the claim week pattern as established during the current period of unemployment in the first of such two benefit years.
10.5 The effective date of claim for succeeding transitional claims shall be the Sunday date immediately following the benefit year ending date on the preceding benefit year; provided, the benefit week was extended under 4 above to include the Saturday date immediately prior to such Sunday date. However, if the benefit year was not extended, or if extended did not include the Saturday date prior to such Sunday date, the effective date of the succeeding benefit year will be the first day immediately following the date of the last benefit week in the prior benefit year.
10.6 If the claimant is not eligible monetarily for a transitional claim, and if the last day of his benefit year falls within a benefit week with respect to which he has met the eligibility requirements of the Act, the ending date of his benefit year may be extended for a period not to exceed six (6) days for the purpose of paying the last benefit week.
