SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article 95A - Unemployment Insurance Law
3.
(b) (1) Weekly Benefit Amount. An individual's "weekly
benefit amount" shall be determined by applying the total of
wages paid him for insured work in that calendar quarter of his
base period in which such total wages were highest to column (A)
in "schedule of benefits" set forth below. Upon determination as
to the division of said schedule for which such individual's high
quarter wages qualify, the weekly benefit amount shall be the
amount shown on the same line in column (B).
Provided, if a claimant had not earned qualifying wages, as
required in § 4(d) of this article, for the weekly benefit amount
shown in the schedule of benefits on the basis of his earnings in
the calendar quarter of the base period in which his earnings
were highest but did earn qualifying wages for one of the next 6
lower divisions on the schedule, he is to be considered eligible
for benefits as shown in that next lower division.
