[(S 171]

Approved March 15, 1962

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 60-46, as amended, of the Code of Virginia, be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 60-46. An unemployed individual shall be eligible to receive benefits
with respect to any week only if the Commission finds that:

(a) He has registered for work and thereafter has continued to re-
port at an employment office in accordance with such regulations as the
Commission may prescribe, except that the Commission may, by regula-
tion, waive or alter either or both of the requirements of this subsection
as to such types of cases or situations with respect to which it finds that
compliance with such requirements would be oppressive, or would be in-
consistent with the purposes of this title.

(b) He has made a claim for benefits in accordance with such regula-
tions as the Commission may prescribe.

(c) He is able to work, and is available for work.

(d) He has served a waiting period of one week during which he was
eligible for benefits under this section in all other respects, and has not
received benefits; except that only one waiting period week shall be re-
quired of such individual within any benefit year.

(e) He has within his base period earned wages in employment for
employers equal to not less than the amount appearing in Column C of the
“Benefit Table” appearing in § 60-42 on the line which extends through
Division D on which in Column B of the “Benefit Table’ appears his
weekly benefit amount.

(f) He is not receiving, has not received or is not seeking unemploy-
ment benefits under an unemployment compensation law of any other state
or of the United States, provided, however, that if the appropriate agency
of such other state or of the United States finally determines that he is not
entitled to such unemployment benefits, this subsection shall not apply.

(gz) He is not on a bona fide vacation.

(h) He does not have payable to him remuneration equal to or in ex-
cess of his weekly benefit amount in the form of a retirement pension,
annuity, or other retirement payment under any private plan contributed
to by the most recent employer for whom he performed services during
thirty days, whether or not such days are consecutive; provided, if such
remuneration is less than his weekly benefit amount, such remuneration
shall be treated as if it were wages in accordance with § 60-43.
