Section R994-404-101 - Claimants Who Qualify for an Adjustment to the Base Period(1) A claimant who was off work due to a work related illness or injury may qualify for an adjusted base period if all of the following elements are satisfied: (a) the claimant must have received temporary total disability (TTD) compensation for the illness or injury under the workers' compensation or occupational disease laws of this state or under federal law;(b) the claimant must have received TTD for at least seven full weeks during the base period immediately preceding the effective date of the claim. This can be either the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters or the last four completed calendar quarters as provided in R994-404-104. The weeks need not be consecutive;(c) the initial claim for unemployment insurance benefits must have been filed no later than 90 calendar days after the claimant was released by his or her health care provider to return to full-time work. This does not include release to limited or light duty work. The effective date of the eligible claim must be within the 90 days regardless of the date on which the claimant contacts the Department to file a claim. For example, if the 90th day falls on Wednesday and the claimant files a claim on Thursday, the effective date of the claim would be Sunday of that calendar week and would fall within the 90 day time limitation;(d) the initial claim for unemployment insurance benefits must have been filed within 36 months of the week the covered injury or illness occurred. The covered injury can be the initial injury or an event such as a re- injury that caused the claimant to go back on TTD.(2) Wages previously used to establish a benefit year cannot be re-used.Utah Admin.
