EXHAUSTEE. A. "Exhaustee" means an individual who, with

respect to any week of unemployment in his eligibility period:

(1) has received, prior to such week, all the regular benefits

payable to him according to the monetary determination for his

current benefit year that includes such week under this act, or of

any other state law; or

(2) has received, prior to such week, all the regular benefits

available to him in his current benefit year that includes such week

under this act or of any other state law after a cancellation of

some or all of his wage credits or the partial or total reduction of

his right to regular compensation; or

(3) his benefit year having expired prior to such week, has

insufficient wages or employment, or both, on the basis of which he

could establish in any state a new benefit year that would include

such week, or having established a new benefit year that includes

such week, he is precluded from receiving regular benefits by reason

of the provisions of Part 1 of Article 2 or the provision of any

other state law that meets the requirements of Section 3304(a)(7) of

the Internal Revenue Code of 1954; and

(4) has no right to unemployment benefits or allowances, as the

case may be, under the following federal laws: The Railroad

Unemployment Insurance Act, the Trade Expansion Act, and the

Automotive Products Trade Act; and

(5) has not received and is not seeking for such week

unemployment benefits under the law of Canada, but if he is seeking

such benefits and the appropriate agency finally determines that he

is not entitled to benefits under such law, he is an exhaustee.

B. For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection A, an

individual shall be deemed to have received in his current benefit

year all of the regular benefits payable to him according to the

monetary determination or available to him, as the case may be, even

though:

(1) as a result of a pending appeal with respect to wages or

employment or both that were not included in the original monetary

determination with respect to such benefit year, he may subsequently

be determined to be entitled to more regular benefits; or

(2) having established a benefit year, no regular benefits are

payable to him during such year because his wage credits were

cancelled or his right to regular compensation was totally reduced

as the result of the application of a disqualification.
