- Section Name: Evidence of qualification.
(a) State agency action. When an individual applies for TRA, the
State agency having jurisdiction under Sec. 617.50(a) shall obtain
information necessary to establish:
(1) Whether the individual meets the qualifying requirements in
Sec. 617.11;
(2) The individual's average weekly wage; and
(3) For an individual claiming to be partially separated, the
average weekly hours and average weekly wage in adversely affected
employment.
(b) Insufficient data. If information specified in paragraph (a) of
this section is not available from State agency records or from any
employer, the State agency shall require the individual to submit a
signed statement setting forth such information as may be required for
the State agency to make the determinations required by paragraph (a) of
this section.
(c) Verification. A statement made under paragraph (b) of this
section shall be certified by the individual to be true to the best of
the individual's knowledge and belief and shall be supported by evidence
such as Forms W-2, paycheck stubs, union records, income tax returns, or
statements of fellow workers, and shall be verified by the employer.
(d) Determinations. The State agency shall make the necessary
determinations on the basis of information obtained pursuant to this
section, except that if, after reviewing information obtained under
paragraph (b) of this section against other available data, including
agency records, it concludes that such information is not reasonably
accurate, it shall make appropriate adjustments and shall make the
determination on the basis of the adjusted data.
