20 CFR 617.14 - Maximum amount of TRA.

  • Section Number: 617.14
  • Section Name: Maximum amount of TRA.

    (a) General rule. Except as provided under paragraph (b) of this 

section, the maximum amount of TRA payable to an individual under a 

certification shall be the amount determined by:

    (1) Multiplying by 52 the weekly amount of TRA payable to such 

individual for a week of total unemployment, as determined under 

Sec. 617.13(a); and

    (2) Subtracting from the product derived under paragraph (a)(1) of 

this section, the total sum of UI to which the individual was entitled 

(or would have been entitled if the individual had applied therefor) in 

the individual's first benefit period described in Sec. 617.11(a)(1)(iv) 

or, as appropriate, Sec. 617.11(a)(2)(iv). The individual's full 

entitlement shall be subtracted under this paragraph, without regard to 

the amount, if any, that was actually paid to the individual with 

respect to such benefit period.

    (b) Exceptions. The maximum amount of TRA determined under paragraph 

(a) of this section will not include:

    (1) The amount of dependents' allowances paid as a supplement to the 

base weekly amount determined under Sec. 617.13(a);

    (2) The amount of the difference between the individual's weekly 

increased allowances determined under Sec. 617.13(b) and the 

individual's weekly amount determined under Sec. 617.13(a); and

    (3) The amounts paid for additional weeks determined under 

Sec. 617.15(b);



but nothing in this paragraph (b) shall affect an individual's 

eligibility for such supplemental, increased or additional allowances.

    (c) Reduction for Federal training allowance. (1) If a training 

allowance referred to in Sec. 617.13(c)(2) is paid to an individual for 

any week of unemployment with respect to which the individual would be 

entitled (determined without regard to any disqualification under 

Sec. 617.18(b)(2)) to TRA, if the individual applied for TRA for such 

week, each week shall be deducted from the total number of weeks of TRA 

otherwise payable to the individual.

    (2) If the training allowance referred to in paragraph (c)(1) of 

this section is less than the amount of TRA otherwise payable to the 

individual for such week, the individual shall, when the individual 

applies for TRA for such week, be paid TRA in an amount not to exceed 

the amount equal to the difference between the individual's regular 

weekly TRA amount, as determined under Sec. 617.13(a), and the amount of 

the training allowance paid to the individual for such week, as provided 

in section 232(c) of the Act.
