[S 55]
Approved February 8, 1962

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 60-69 as amended, of the Code of Virginia, be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 60.-69.—Any employer’s benefit wages for a given calendar year
shall be the total of the “benefit wages” which, pursuant to the pro-
visions of § 60-68, are wages deemed to have been paid by such employer.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title, any employer
who has been deemed to have paid benefit wages in accordance with the
provisions of this section and § 60-68 and who has reemployed during
his benefit year the claimant whose receipt of benefits caused the benefit
wage charge, may make application to the Commission not later than
80 days following the last day of such claimant’s benefit year for a re-
duction in benefit wages as provided herein.

If, upon the filing of such application, the Commission finds that
such claimant because of such reemployment received in benefits a total
amount aggregating not more than twenty-five percent of his total po-
tential benefits within such benefit year, the employer's benefit wages
resulting from such claimant’s previous employment shall be reduced
by seventy-five percent; or, if the Commission finds that such claimant
because of such reemployment received in benefits an amount aggregat-
ing more than twenty-five percent but not more than fifty percent of his
total potential benefits, the employer’s benefit wages resulting from such
claimant’s previous employment shall be reduced by fifty percent; or,
uf the Commission finds that such claimant because of such reemployment
received in benefits a total amount aggregating more than fifty percent
but not more than seventy-five percent of his total potential benefits,
the employer's benefit wages resulting from such claimant’s previous
enployment shall be reduced by twenty-five percent.

In computing an employer’s contribution rate for any calendar year
a reduction in benefit wages shall be used only in connection with the
reemployment of claimants whose benefit years ended no later than the
thirtieth day of June immediately preceding the calendar year for which
a contribution rate is being determined.

2. This act shall be in force on and after July 1, 1962.
