1. The claimant is placed on furlough or work stoppage by his or her employer;
2. The claimant is not paid wages or salary during the pendency of the furlough or work stoppage;
3. The furlough or work stoppage is due to a lapse in appropriations, funding or budget shortfall affecting the employer;
4. After the furlough or work stoppage concludes, the claimant is reimbursed his or her full pay for the period during which the furlough or work stoppage occurred; and
5. The employer considers the employee as having been in a pay status during the furlough or work stoppage.
B. If reimbursed pay or back pay is required to be subtracted from the claimant's benefit amount pursuant to subsection A of this section, the eligibility for benefits of each week in question shall be redetermined pursuant to Section 2-506 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes and the amount of reimbursed pay or back pay received by the claimant shall be deducted from any unemployment benefits drawn during the pendency of the furlough or work stoppage. Any party to the redetermination may appeal pursuant to Section 2-603 of Title 40 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
