2009 North Carolina Code
Chapter 96 - Employment Security.
§ 96-12.1. Extended base period for certain job related injuries.
§ 96‑12.1. Extended base period for certain job related injuries.
If an individual lacks sufficient base period wages because of a job related injury for which he received workers' compensation, upon written application by the claimant, an extended base period will be substituted for the current base period on a quarter‑by‑quarter basis as needed to establish a valid claim. "Extended base period" means the four quarters prior to the claimant's base period. These four quarters may be substituted for base period quarters on a quarter‑by‑quarter basis to establish a valid claim regardless of whether the wages have been used to establish a prior claim, except any wages earned that would render the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina out of compliance with applicable federal law will be excluded if used in a prior claim. Benefits paid on the basis of an extended base period, which would not otherwise be payable, shall be noncharged. (1991, c. 409; 1993, c. 343, s. 6.)
