(a) Regular allowance. The amount of TRA payable for a week of total
unemployment (including a week of training approved under subpart C of
this part 617 or under the provisions of the applicabIe State law) shall
be an amount equal to the most recent weekly benefit amount of UI
(including dependents' allowances) payable to the individual for a week
of total unemployment preceding the individual's first exhaustion of UI
following the individual's first qualifying separation: Provided, that
in a State in which weeks of UI are paid in varying amounts related to
wages with separate employers, the weekly amount of TRA shall be
calculated as it would be to pay extended compensation: Provided,
further, that where a State calculates a base amount of UI and
calculates dependents' allowances on a weekly supplemental basis. TRA
weekly benefit amounts shall be calculated in the same manner and under
the same terms and conditions as apply to claimants for UI, except that
the base amount shall not change.
(b) Increased allowance. An individual in training approved under
subpart C of this part 617 who is thereby entitled for any week to TRA
and a training allowance under any other Federal law for the training of
workers shall be paid in the amount computed under paragraph (a) of this
section or, if greater, the amount to which the individual would be
entitled under such other Federal law if the individual applied for such
allowance, as provided in section 232(b) of the Act. A payment under
this paragraph (b) shall be in lieu of any training allowance to which
the individual is entitled under such other Federal law.
(c) Reduction of amount. An amount of TRA payabIe under paragraph
(a) or (b) of this section for any week shall be reduced (but not below
zero) by:
(1) Income that is deductible from UI under the disqualifying income
provisions of the applicable State law or Federal unemployment
compensation law;
(2) The amount of a training allowance (other than a training
allowance referred to in paragraph (b) of this section) under any
Federal law that the individual receives for such week, as provided in
section 232(c) of the Act. This paragraph (c) shall apply to Veterans
Educational Assistance, Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants, and other training allowances under any Federal law
other than for the training of workers; and
(3) Any amount that would be deductible from UI for days of absence
from training under the provisions of the applicable State law which
