Nevada § 612.378 - Maximum amount of extended benefit payable during year

§ 612.378. Maximum amount of extended benefit payable during year

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, the total extended benefit amount

payable to any eligible person for the person's applicable benefit year is the lesser

of the following amounts: (a) Fifty percent of the basic benefits which were payable to him or her in the benefit

year. If the amount computed is not a multiple of $1, it must be computed to the next

lower multiple of $1. (b) Thirteen times the person's average weekly benefit amount which was payable to

him or her under this chapter for a week of total unemployment in the applicable benefit

year. If the amount computed is not a multiple of $1, it must be computed to the next

lower multiple of $1. (c) Thirty-nine times the person's average weekly benefit amount which was payable

to him or her under this chapter for a week of total unemployment in the applicable

benefit year, reduced by the basic benefits which were payable to him or her in the

benefit year. If the amount computed is not a multiple of $1, it must be computed to the next

lower multiple of $1. 2. In weeks beginning in a high unemployment period on or after March 18, 2020, and

ending on or before the week ending 3 weeks before the last week for which full federal

sharing is authorized by section 4105(a) of Public Law No. 116-127 , or which occur during a period of time specified by the Governor in a proclamation

issued pursuant to subsection 4, the total extended benefit amount payable to any

eligible person for the person's applicable benefit year is the lesser of the following

amounts: (a) Eighty percent of the basic benefits which were payable to him or her in the benefit

year. If the amount computed is not a multiple of $1, it must be computed to the next

lower multiple of $1. (b) Twenty times the person's average weekly benefit amount which was payable to him

or her under this chapter for a week of total unemployment in the applicable benefit

year. If the amount computed is not a multiple of $1, it must be computed to the next

lower multiple of $1. (c) Forty-six times the person's average weekly benefit amount which was payable to

him or her under this chapter for a week of total unemployment in the applicable benefit

year, reduced by the basic benefits which were payable to him or her in the benefit

year. If the amount computed is not a multiple of $1, it must be computed to the next

lower multiple of $1. 3. If the benefit year of any person ends within an extended benefit period, the remaining

balance of extended benefits that the person would, but for this subsection, be entitled

to receive in that period, with respect to weeks of unemployment beginning after the

end of the benefit year, must be reduced by the product of the number of weeks for

which the person received any amounts as trade readjustment allowances pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 2291 within that benefit year, multiplied by the weekly benefit amount of extended benefits,

but the balance must not be reduced below zero. 4. If the Governor determines that a federal law authorizes full federal sharing for

one or more weeks to cover the costs of extended benefits incurred pursuant to subsection

2, the Governor shall issue a proclamation stating that determination and specifying

the weeks during which the extended benefits are available. 5. As used in this section, “ high unemployment period ” means any period during which the average rate of total seasonally adjusted unemployment

in Nevada, as determined by the Secretary of Labor, for the period consisting of the

most recent 3 months for which data for all states are published before the close

of such week: (a) Equaled or exceeded 8 percent; and (b) Equaled or exceeded 110 percent of the average rate for the corresponding 3-month

period ending in either of the 2 preceding calendar years.
