                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
                      CHAPTER 12--TRADE ACT OF 1974
 
     SUBCHAPTER II--RELIEF FROM INJURY CAUSED BY IMPORT COMPETITION
 
                Part 2--Adjustment Assistance for Workers
 
                       subpart b--program benefits
 
Sec. 2292. Weekly amounts of readjustment allowance


(a) Formula

    Subject to subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the trade 
readjustment allowance payable to an adversely affected worker for a 
week of total unemployment shall be an amount equal to the most recent 
weekly benefit amount of the unemployment insurance payable to the 
worker for a week of total unemployment preceding the worker's first 
exhaustion of unemployment insurance (as determined for purposes of 
section 2291(a)(3)(B) of this title) reduced (but not below zero) by--
        (1) any training allowance deductible under subsection (c) of 
    this section; and
        (2) income that is deductible from unemployment insurance under 
    the disqualifying income provisions of the applicable State law or 
    Federal unemployment insurance law.

(b) Adversely affected workers who are undergoing training

    Any adversely affected worker who is entitled to trade readjustment 
allowances and who is undergoing training approved by the Secretary 
shall receive for each week in which he is undergoing any such training, 
a trade readjustment allowance in an amount (computed for such week) 
equal to the amount computed under subsection (a) of this section or (if 
greater) the amount of any weekly allowance for such training to which 
he would be entitled under any other Federal law for the training of 
workers, if he applied for such allowance. Such trade readjustment 
allowance shall be paid in lieu of any training allowance to which the 
worker would be entitled under such other Federal law.

(c) Deduction from total number of weeks of allowance entitlement

    If a training allowance under any Federal law other than this 
chapter is paid to an adversely affected worker for any week of 
unemployment with respect to which he would be entitled (determined 
without regard to any disqualification under section 2291(b) of this 
title) to a trade readjustment allowance if he applied for such 
allowance, each such week shall be deducted from the total number of 
weeks of trade readjustment allowance otherwise payable to him under 
section 2293(a) of this title when he applies for a trade readjustment 
allowance and is determined to be entitled to such allowance. If such 
training allowance paid to such worker for any week of unemployment is 
less than the amount of the trade readjustment allowance to which he 
would be entitled if he applied for such allowance, he shall receive, 
when he applies for a trade readjustment allowance and is determined to 
be entitled to such allowance, a trade readjustment allowance for such 
week equal to such difference.
