Sec. 1. (a) Claims for benefits shall be made in accordance with rules adopted by the department. The department shall adopt reasonable procedures consistent with the provisions of this article for the expediting of the taking of claims of individuals for benefits in instances of mass layoffs by employers, the purpose of which shall be to minimize the amount of time required for such individuals to file claims upon becoming unemployed as the result of such mass layoffs.
(b) Except when the result would be inconsistent with the other provisions of this article, as provided in the rules of the department, the provisions of this article which apply to claims for, or the payment of, regular benefits shall apply to claims for, and the payment of, extended benefits.
(c) Whenever an extended benefit period is to become effective in this state as a result of a state "on" indicator, or an extended benefit period is to be terminated in this state as a result of a state "off" indicator, the commissioner shall make an appropriate public announcement.
(d) Computations required by the provisions of IC 22-4-2-34(f) shall be made by the department in accordance with regulations prescribed by the United States Department of Labor.
(e) Each employer shall display and maintain in places readily accessible to all employees posters concerning its regulations and shall make available to each such individual at the time the individual becomes unemployed printed benefit rights information furnished by the department.
