(c) He is able to work, is available for work and is
actively seeking work; provided no claimant shall be consid-
ered ineligible in any week of unemployment for failure to
comply with the provisions of this sub-section if such failure
is due to an illness or disability which occurs after he has
registered for work and no work which would have been con-
sidered suitable at the time of his initial registration has been
offered after the beginning of such illness or disability.

(1) During his base period he has been paid wages for
insured work equal to not less than forty (40) times his
weekly benefit amount; and (2) during that calendar quarter
of his base period in which his total wages were highest, he
has been paid for insured work at least one hundred and
fifty-six dollars ($156.00).

5. An individual shall be disqualified for benefits—

(a) For any week in which his unemployment is due to his
having been discharged or separated for an indefinite period
from his work for a dishonest or criminal act committed in
connection with or materially affecting his work, if so found
by the Board, or for any wilful act endangering the safety
of others, if so found by the Board. When an individual is so
disqualified for benefits, he shall not thereafter be entitled to
any benefits under this Article on account of wages paid to
him prior to the discharge or separation for which he is so
disqualified.

(b) For any week in which his unemployment is due to his
leaving work voluntarily without good cause, or to his actual
or threatened deliberate and wilful misconduct connected with
his work, if so found by the Board. Such disqualification
shall continue until such individual has become reemployed
and has earnings therein equal to at least ten (10) times his
weekly benefit amount.

(e) For the week in which he has been discharged, or
suspended as a disciplinary measure, for misconduct con-
nected with his work (other than for acts specified herein-
above in this section), if so found by the Board and for not
less than the one nor more than the nine weeks which im-
mediately follow such week as determined by the Board in
each case according to the seriousness of the misconduct.
