TERMINATION OF COVERAGE.

Termination of coverage with respect to 1977 or prior years shall be determined in accordance with provisions applicable to those years. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3-203 of this title, an employing unit shall cease to be an employer subject to this act only as of the first day of any calendar year and only if it files with the Commission, during January of such year, a written application for termination of coverage, and the Commission finds that there were (1) no calendar quarter within the preceding calendar year in which such employing unit paid for service in employment wages of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) or more or (2) no twenty (20) different days, each day being in a different calendar week within the preceding calendar year, within which such employing unit employed one or more individuals in employment subject to this act; provided further that religious, charitable, educational or other organizations covered under paragraph 8 of Section 1-208 of this title shall be so terminated if the Commission finds that there were no twenty (20) different days, each day being in a different calendar week within the preceding calendar year, within which such employing unit employed four or more individuals in employment subject to this act. Provided further that agricultural labor as covered under paragraph 10 of Section 1-208 of this title shall be so terminated if the Commission finds that there were (1) no calendar quarter within the preceding calendar year in which such employing unit paid wages of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) or more, or (2) no twenty (20) different days, each day being in a different calendar week within the preceding calendar year, within which such employing unit employed ten (10) or more individuals in employment subject to this act; provided further that domestic service as covered under paragraph 11 of Section 1-208 of this title shall be terminated if the Commission finds that there were no calendar quarters within the preceding calendar year in which such employing unit paid wages of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or more. Provided, however, that if the Federal Congress shall, by amendment to the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, redefine the term employer to include employing units not qualified as employers under this section, all of the provisions of this act shall be applicable to such employing units. For the purposes of this section, the two or more employing units mentioned in paragraph 2, 3 or 4 of Section 1-208 of this title shall be treated as a single employing unit.
