Waiting period
Sec. 4. As a condition precedent to the payment of benefits to an
individual with respect to any week such individual shall be required
to serve a waiting period of one (1) week in which he has been
totally, partially or part-totally unemployed and with respect to
which he has received no benefits, but during which he was eligible
for benefits in all other respects and was not otherwise ineligible for
benefits under any provisions of this article. Such waiting period
shall be a week in the individual's benefit period and during such
week such individual shall be physically and mentally able to work
and available for work. No individual in a benefit period may file for
waiting period or benefit period rights with respect to any subsequent
period. Provided, however, That no waiting period shall be required
as a prerequisite for drawing extended benefits.
