                           TITLE 45--RAILROADS
 
      CHAPTER 12--TEMPORARY RAILROAD UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM
 
Sec. 401. Payment of compensation; eligibility; duration; 
        maximum aggregate amount payable; duplication of benefits; 
        application of railroad unemployment insurance provisions
        
    An employee as defined in the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 
[45 U.S.C. 351 et seq.] who has, after June 30, 1960, and before April 
1, 1962, exhausted (within the meaning prescribed by the Railroad 
Retirement Board by regulation) his right to unemployment benefits under 
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, shall be paid unemployment 
benefits in accordance otherwise with the provisions of such Act for 
days of unemployment, not exceeding sixty-five, and not exceeding in the 
aggregate, an amount equal to 50 per centum of the total amount of 
unemployment benefits which were payable to him in the benefit year in 
which he last exhausted his rights before making his first claim under 
this chapter, which occur in registration periods, as defined in the 
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, beginning on or after the fifteenth 
day after the date of enactment of the Temporary Extended Unemployment 
Compensation Act of 1961 [March 24, 1961], and before April 1, 1962, and 
which would not be days with respect to which he would be held entitled 
otherwise to receive unemployment benefits under the Railroad 
Unemployment Insurance Act: Provided, That an employee entitled under 
this section to benefits for a day before April 1, 1962, may receive 
such benefits for days in registration periods which begin before July 
1, 1962: Provided further, That payment of benefits otherwise provided 
for in this chapter shall not be made with respect to any individual for 
any day of unemployment to the extent that such payment, when added to 
the sum of the benefits under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 
and under this chapter paid such individual with respect to prior days 
in the benefit year, would exceed one hundred and ninety-five times such 
individual's daily benefit rate for such benefit year. An employee who 
has filed, and established, a first claim for benefits under the 
provisions of the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 
1961, may not thereafter establish a claim under this section, and an 
employee who has registered for, and established, a claim under this 
section may not thereafter establish a claim under the provisions of the 
Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 1961. Except to the 
extent inconsistent with this section, the provisions of the Railroad 
Unemployment Insurance Act shall be applicable in the administration of 
this section.
