(1)The purpose of Pilot Project No. 20 is also to test which method, the one described in subsection 77.94(3) or the one described in subsection 77.99(3), is more effective in encouraging claimants to work more while receiving benefits.

(2)A claimant may elect to have subsection 77.94(3), instead of subsection 77.99(3), apply to earnings received during all weeks of unemployment included in a benefit period, or the portion of a benefit period, that falls within the period beginning on August 7, 2016 and ending on August 11, 2018.

(3)Any election made under section 77.98 in respect of a benefit period is deemed to apply to earnings received during all weeks of unemployment included in the portion of that benefit period that falls within the period beginning on August 7, 2016 and ending on August 11, 2018 if the last notification of payment or non-payment of benefits in respect of one or more weeks of unemployment included in that benefit period is issued to the claimant on or after August 7, 2016.

(4)A claimant who was eligible to make an election under section 77.98 in respect of a benefit period that began before August 7, 2016 and has not ended on or before that day may make an election under subsection (2) in respect of that benefit period if the last notification of payment or non-payment of benefits in respect of that benefit period is issued to the claimant on or after August 7, 2016.

(5)A claimant must inform the Commission of their election, if any, in respect of earnings received during all weeks of unemployment included in a given benefit period not later than the 30th day after the day on which the last notification of payment or non-payment of benefits in respect of one or more weeks of unemployment included in that benefit period is issued to the claimant or August 11, 2018, whichever is earlier. The election is irrevocable.

(6)If a claimant informs the Commission of their election after the day on which the deadline expires, the election is considered to have been made by that deadline if the claimant shows that there was good cause for the delay throughout the period beginning on the day on which the deadline expired and ending on the day on which the claimant informs the Commission of their election.

(7)A decision of the Commission in respect of any matter related to an election, including the failure to make an election, is not subject to reconsideration under section 112 of the Act.
