506 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 278

provision of the old law shall be construed to limit or to ex-
tend the rights of any individual as fixed by the new law, after
the new law becomes exclusively applicable with respect to
such individual as provided in this Section.

(c) (1) With respect to any individual for whom there is
current a benefit year, established pursuant to the old law,
which has not expired prior to April 1, 1939, Sections 19 (s)
(base period), 19 (r) (benefit year), 3 (e) (duration of bene-
fits), and 4 (e) (qualifying wages) of the old law, and the
weekly benefit amount determined pursuant to Section 19 (q),
3 (b) and 3 (d) of the old law, shall be exclusively applicable
until the expiration of such current benefit year, except that:

(A) Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 19 (s) and
3 (d) of the old law to the contrary, the base period of such
individual and the period usable in the determination or re-
determination of his full-time weekly wage, under the old law,
shall in no event extend after December 31, 1938; and

(B) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 4 (d) of the
old or new law to the contrary, no waiting period shall be
required of any such individual after April 1, 1939, and before
the expiration of such current benefit year; and

(C) Notwithstanding any provision of the old law to the
contrary, the weekly benefit amount and the maximum total
benefits payable during such current benefit year shall, if not
a multiple of $1. 00, be computed to the next higher multiple
of $1. 00, with respect to all weeks of unemployment occurring
after April 1, 1939; and

(D) If such current benefit year is the individual's second
benefit year established pursuant to the old law, there shall
be added to the maximum total benefits payable during such
current benefit year the amount (if any) by which such maxi-
mum total benefits are exceeded by the maximum total bene-
fits, which would have been payable under Sections 3 and 4 (e)
of the new law during a benefit year beginning April 1, 1939,
but such aggregate total benefits shall not exceed sixteen
times the weekly benefit amount established pursuant to the
old law.

the new law shall be exclusively applicable with respect to
such individual after the expiration of such benefit year, ex-
cept that the maximum total amount of benefits payable with
respect to weeks of unemployment occurring after the expira-
tion of such current benefit year and prior to April 1, 1940,
shall be the amount payable under Section 3 (c) of the new
law without deduction for benefits paid or payable during
