#### Regulation .04 Benefit Rights of Interstate Claimants.

*COMAR 09.32.05.04*

A. If a claimant files a claim against any state, and it is determined by that state that the claimant has available benefit credits in that state, then claims shall be filed only against the state as long as benefit credits are available in the state. After that, the claimant may file claims against any other state in which there are available benefit credits. For the purpose of this regulation, benefit credits shall be deemed to be unavailable whenever benefits have been exhausted, terminated, or postponed for an indefinite period or for the entire period in which benefits would otherwise be payable, or whenever benefits are affected by the application of a seasonal restriction.

B. The benefit rights of interstate claimants established by these regulations shall apply only with respect to new claims (notices of unemployment) filed on or after July 5, 1953.
