HRS §383-176

How trade readjustment payments reduce extended unemployment benefits

If your regular benefit year ends during an extended benefit period, any trade readjustment allowance you already received will reduce the extended benefits you can get for weeks after that year ends. The reduction equals the number of weeks you got the allowance times your weekly extended benefit amount, but it cannot go below zero.

The statute, as written — Limitation of extended benefits by trade readjustment allowance

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, if the benefit year of any individual ends within an extended benefit period, the remaining balance of extended benefits that such individual, but for this section, would be entitled to receive in that extended benefit period, with respect to weeks of unemployment beginning after the end of the benefit year, shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the product of the number of weeks for which the individual received any amount as trade readjustment allowance within that benefit year, multiplied by the individual's weekly benefit amount for extended benefits.
