WEEKLY EXTENDED BENEFIT AMOUNT. (1) The weekly extended benefit amount payable to an individual for a week of total unemployment in his eligibility period shall be an amount equal to the weekly benefit amount payable to him for a week of total unemployment during his current benefit year, or if he has no current benefit year, his most recent benefit year. If the individual had more than one (1) weekly amount of regular benefits for total unemployment during such benefit year, the weekly amount of extended benefits for total unemployment shall be the average of such weekly benefit amounts.
(2) The weekly benefit amount of extended benefits payable for a week of less than total unemployment shall be based on the weekly benefit amount determined pursuant to subsection (1) of this section. Provided, that for any week during a period in which federal payments to states under Section 204 of the Federal-State Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1970 are reduced under an order issued under Section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, the weekly extended benefit amount payable to an individual for a week of total unemployment in his eligibility period shall be reduced by a percentage equivalent to the percentage of the reduction in the federal payment. Such reduced weekly extended benefit amount, if not a full dollar amount, shall be rounded to the nearest lower full dollar amount.
