Section 646IAC5-11-4. Benefit rights of interstate claimants

   (a) If a claimant files a claim against any state, and it is determined by the state that the claimant has available benefit credits in such state, then claims shall be filed only against the state as long as benefit credits are available in that state. Thereafter, the claimant may file claims against any other state in which there are available benefit credits.

  (b) Under this rule, benefit credits shall be deemed to be unavailable whenever benefits:

(1) have been exhausted, terminated, or postponed for an indefinite period or for the entire period in which benefits would otherwise be payable; or

(2) are affected by the application of a seasonal restriction.
