Section 401. Payment of compensation; eligibility; duration; maximum aggregate amount payable; duplication of benefits; application of railroad unemployment insurance provisions
An employee as defined in the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
[45 U.S.C. 351 et seq.] who has, after June 30, 1960, and before
April 1, 1962, exhausted (within the meaning prescribed by the
Railroad Retirement Board by regulation) his right to unemployment
benefits under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, shall be
paid unemployment benefits in accordance otherwise with the
provisions of such Act for days of unemployment, not exceeding
sixty-five, and not exceeding in the aggregate, an amount equal to
50 per centum of the total amount of unemployment benefits which
were payable to him in the benefit year in which he last exhausted
his rights before making his first claim under this chapter, which
occur in registration periods, as defined in the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act, beginning on or after the fifteenth day
after the date of enactment of the Temporary Extended Unemployment
Compensation Act of 1961 [March 24, 1961], and before April 1,
1962, and which would not be days with respect to which he would be
held entitled otherwise to receive unemployment benefits under the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act: Provided, That an employee
entitled under this section to benefits for a day before April 1,
1962, may receive such benefits for days in registration periods
which begin before July 1, 1962: Provided further, That payment of
benefits otherwise provided for in this chapter shall not be made
with respect to any individual for any day of unemployment to the
extent that such payment, when added to the sum of the benefits
under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act and under this
chapter paid such individual with respect to prior days in the
benefit year, would exceed one hundred and ninety-five times such
individual's daily benefit rate for such benefit year. An employee
who has filed, and established, a first claim for benefits under
the provisions of the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation
Act of 1961, may not thereafter establish a claim under this
section, and an employee who has registered for, and established, a
claim under this section may not thereafter establish a claim under
the provisions of the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation
Act of 1961. Except to the extent inconsistent with this section,
the provisions of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act shall be
applicable in the administration of this section.
