Section 646IAC5-7-3. Minimum weekly benefits

   (a) In cases where an individual is paid the statutory minimum weekly benefit amount established under IC 22-4-12-2, although the individual's actual weekly benefit amount computes to less than the statutory minimum, the additional benefits paid shall not increase that individual's maximum benefit amount.

  (b) If the individual is partially unemployed, the amount of benefits computed and paid to the individual will be the difference between the statutory minimum and the individual's deductible income for a particular week.

  (c) In cases where an individual's actual computed weekly benefit amount is less than the statutory minimum, and a penalty suspension has been imposed under IC 22-4-15-1 or IC 22-4-15-2, the statutory weekly benefit amount language, relating to the lifting of the suspension, refers to the individual's actual computed weekly benefit amount, not to the statutory minimum.
