such week a partial benefit. Such partial benefit shall be an
amount equal to the difference between his weekly benefit
amount (as defined in Section 19 (q) ) and five-sixths of his
remuneration (as defined in Section 19 (n) ) for such week.

(d) DETERMINATION OF PULL-TIME WEEKLY WAGE.

(1) The full-time weekly wage of any individual means the
Weekly wages that such individual would receive if he were
employed at the most recent wage rate earned by him for
employment by an employer during the period prescribed pur-
suant to paragraph (3) of this sub-section, and for the custo-
mary scheduled full-time weekly hours prevailing for his occu-
pation in the enterprise in which he last earned wages for
employment by an employer during the same period.

(2) If the Board finds that the full-time weekly wage, as
above defined, would be unreasonable or arbitrary or not read-
ily determinable with respect to any individual the full-time
weekly wage of such individual shall be deemed to be one-thir-
teenth of his total wages for employment by employers during
that quarter in which such total wages were highest during
the period provided pursuant to paragraph (3) of this sub-
section.

(3) The full-time weekly wage of any individual shall be de-
termined and redetermined at such reasonable times as the
Board may find necessary to administer this Act and may by
Regulation prescribe. The period hereinabove referred to shall
consist of the next to the last completed calendar quarter
Immediately preceding the date with respect to which an indi-
vidual's full-time weekly wage is determined, and such of the
seven immediately preceding consecutive calendar quarters as
the Board may by regulation prescribe.

credits for each individual by crediting him with the wages
earned by him for employment after December 31,
1936, by employers during each quarter, or $390. 00,
whichever is the lesser. Benefits paid to any eligible
Individual shall be charged, in the same chronological
order as such wages were earned, against one-sixth of his
wage credits which are based upon wages earned during his
base period and which have not been previously charged here-
under. The maximum total amount of benefits payable to any
eligible individual during any benefit year shall not exceed
