(b) He must be a dislocated worker. (c) His partial or total separation must have occurred

(1) After January 17, 1965, and (2) After the impact date specified in the applicable certification; but

(4) Before the termination date, if any, specified pursuant to section 302(g) of the Automotive Act.

(d) He must have been employed within the qualifying period specified in § 91.1 (w) of this chapter

(1) In at least 78 weeks at wages of at least $15 in each of such weeks, and

(2) In at least 26 weeks out of the last 52 calendar weeks in such period at wages of at least $15 in each of such weeks in a firm or firms with respect to which a certification of dislocation has been made under section 302 of the Automotive Act. For the purpose of meeting this requirement weeks in adversely affected employment may be combined with weeks in dislocated employment.

§ 92.5 Retroactive payment of trade readjustment allowances.

(a) Trade readjustment allowances are payable retroactively for weeks of unemployment beginning after January 17, 1965, and before January 19, 1966, to qualified dislocated workers as hereinbelow provided.

(1) The State agency shall pay such retroactive allowances for weeks with respect to which the dislocated worker received unemployment insurance or for weeks with respect to which he was denied unemployment insurance for the reason only that he was taking training approved by the State agency.

(2) The State agency shall pay such retroactive allowances for weeks other than those covered by subparagraph (1) of this paragraph if the dislocated worker submits a written statement certified to be true to the best of his knowledge and belief, and the State agency determines on the basis of the information contained in such statement, State agency records, or other reasonably available information that he is entitled to such allowances. In this connection, the statement shall include information with respect to each such week as to (i) his unemployment, and if he worked, for whom, how much he was paid, and the reason for the termination of his employment; and (ii) his ability to work, availability for work, and what steps he took to obtain work. The statement shall include also any other information requested by the State agency necessary to determine whether the dislocated worker is otherwise entitled to such allowances. If the State agency finds that he took such steps to obtain work as a reasonable man would take in his circumstances, he shall be deemed to have been available for work.

(3) The State agency shall not apply State law provisions regarding claimant reporting, registration for work, or search for work for any week to which subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph are applicable.

(b) This section shall not be deemed to preclude payment to a dislocated worker to trade readjustment allowances on a retroactive basis for weeks of unemployment beginning after January 19, 1966, in cases where an adversely affected worker would be entitled to such payment.

§ 92.6 Relocation allowances.

(a) Relocation allowances may be granted to qualified dislocated workers subject to the terms and conditions set forth §§ 91.18, 91.25 of this chapter, except that with respect to relocations occurring after January 17, 1965, and before January 19, 1966, §§ 91.18(d), (e), and (g), 91.19, 91.20 and 91.24 shall not apply.

(b) A relocation allowance shall be granted retroactively to a dislocated worker for a relocation occurring after January 17, 1965, and before January 19, 1966, if

(1) He had at the time of relocation no reasonable prospect of obtaining suitable employment in the commuting area of his former place of residence. In determining whether a worker has met this requirement the opinion of the director of the employment service of the State in which the commuting area of the worker's former place of residence is located shall be taken into account. (2) He relocated because he obtained suitable employment affording a reason

able expectation of long-term duration in the area in which he relocated, or relocated in reliance upon an adequatelysubstantiated bona fide offer of such employment and failed to obtain such employment by reason of circumstances outside of his control.

(3) The relocation was completed to the extent provided by § 91.25 (d) of this chapter.

(4) He can present reasonable substantiation of the costs of the relocation.

(c) In determining the amount payable retroactively as a relocation allowance the limitations of §§ 91.21, 91.22, and 91.23 of this chapter shall apply.
