If a claimant fails to provide sufficient evidence that his or her prospects for obtaining work in his or her customary occupation within a period of time not exceeding 4 weeks, beginning with the first week of eligibility for extended benefits, are good, this paragraph, rather than s. 108.04 (8), applies. 108.141(3g)(a)2.2. A claimant who, during or after the first week following the week that the department notifies the claimant in writing of the requirements to apply for and accept suitable work, fails either to apply for suitable work when notified by a public employment office or to accept suitable work when offered is ineligible to receive extended benefits for the week in which the failure occurs and for each week thereafter until the claimant has again been employed during at least 4 subsequent weeks in employment or other work covered by the unemployment insurance law of any state or the federal government and earned wages for such work equal to at least 4 times his or her extended weekly benefit rate. 108.141(3g)(a)3.b.b.

The offer of work to the claimant was in writing or the position was listed with a public employment office. 108.141(3g)(b)(b) The department’s public employment offices shall refer extended benefit claimants to suitable work meeting the conditions prescribed in par. (a). 108.141(3g)(c)(c) A claimant shall make a systematic and sustained effort to obtain work and provide tangible evidence thereof to the department for each week for which the claimant files a claim for extended benefits. If a claimant fails to make the required effort to obtain work or to provide tangible evidence thereof, on a weekly basis, he or she is ineligible to receive extended benefits for the week in which the failure occurs and for each week thereafter until he or she has again been employed during at least 4 subsequent weeks in employment or other work covered by the unemployment insurance law of any state or the federal government and has earned wages for such work equal to at least 4 times his or her weekly extended benefit rate. 108.141(3g)(d)(d) Notwithstanding s. 108.04 (6) and (7), a claimant who was disqualified from receipt of benefits because of voluntarily terminating employment or incurring a disciplinary suspension for good cause is ineligible to receive extended benefits for the week in which the termination occurs or the suspension begins and for each week thereafter until he or she has again been employed during at least 4 subsequent weeks in employment or other work covered by the unemployment insurance law of any state or the federal government and earned wages for such work equal to at least 4 times his or her weekly extended benefit rate. 108.141(3g)(e)(e) Extended benefits shall not be denied under par. (a) 2. to a claimant for any week if the failure would not result in a denial of benefits under the law of the state governing eligibility for such benefits to the extent that the law is not inconsistent with this subsection. 108.141(3r)(3r) Limitation on interstate extended benefits. 108.141(3r)(a)(a) Extended benefits shall not be paid to any individual for a given week if the claim for such benefits is filed outside this state, under interstate claiming arrangements under s. 108.14 (8), unless an extended benefit period is in effect during that week in the state where the claim is filed. 108.141(3r)(b)(b) Paragraph (a) does not apply with respect to the first 2 weeks for which extended benefits would be payable except for that paragraph. 108.141(4)(4) Weekly extended benefit rate. The weekly extended benefit rate payable to an individual for a week of total unemployment is the same as the rate payable to the individual for regular benefits during his or her most recent benefit year as determined under s. 108.05 (1). 108.141(5)(a)(a) Except as provided in pars. (b) and (c), the total extended benefit amount payable to an eligible individual in his or her benefit year is the least of the following amounts: 108.141(5)(a)1.1. Fifty percent of the total amount of regular benefits that were payable to the individual in the individual’s most recent benefit year rounded down to the nearest dollar, including benefits canceled under s. 108.04 (5); or 108.141(5)(b)(b) The total extended benefit amount payable to an individual in his or her benefit year shall be reduced by the total amount of additional benefits paid or treated as paid under s. 108.142 for weeks of unemployment in the individual’s benefit year that began prior to the beginning of the extended benefit period that is in effect in the week in which the individual first claims extended benefits. 108.141(5)(c)(c) Except as provided in par. (b), effective with respect to weeks beginning in a high unemployment period, the total extended benefit amount payable to an individual in his or her benefit year is the least of the following amounts: 108.141(5)(c)1.1. Eighty percent of the total amount of regular benefits that were payable to the individual in the individual’s most recent benefit year rounded down to the nearest dollar, including benefits canceled under s. 108.04 (5); or 108.141(6)(a)(a) Whenever an extended benefit period is to become effective as a result of a Wisconsin “on” indicator, or an extended benefit period is to be terminated as a result of a Wisconsin “off” indicator, the secretary of workforce development shall publish it as a class 1 notice under ch. 985. 108.141(6)(b)(b) Computations required by sub. (1) (i) shall be made in accordance with regulations prescribed by the U.S. secretary of labor. 108.141(7)(a)(a) The department shall charge the state’s share of each week of extended benefits to each employer’s account in proportion to the employer’s share of the total wages of the employee receiving the benefits in the employee’s base period, except that if the employer is subject to the contribution requirements of ss. 108.17 and 108.18 the department shall charge the share of extended benefits to which s. 108.04 (1) (f), (5), (5g), (7) (a), (c), (cg), (e), (L), (q), (s), or (t), (7m) or (8) (a) to (c), 108.07 (3), (3r), or (5) (am) 2., or 108.133 (3) (f) applies to the fund’s balancing account. 108.141(7)(b)(b) The department shall charge the full amount of extended benefits based on employment for a government unit to the account of the government unit, except that if s. 108.04 (5), (5g), or (7) applies and the government unit has elected contribution financing the department shall charge one-half of the government unit’s share of the benefits to the fund’s balancing account. 108.141(7)(c)(c) The department shall charge the full amount of extended benefits based upon employment for an Indian tribe to the account of the Indian tribe. 108.141 HistoryHistory: 1971 c. 53; 1973 c. 247; 1975 c. 1, 343; 1977 c. 29, 133, 418; 1979 c. 52; 1981 c. 36 ss. 19 to 32, 45; 1981 c. 315, 390; 1983 a. 8 ss. 28 to 33, 53, 55 (3), (14) and (15) and 56; 1983 a. 27 ss. 1400g and 1807m; 1983 a. 189 ss. 162, 329 (28); 1985 a. 17; 1987 a. 38; 1991 a. 39, 89, 189, 269; 1993 a. 184, 373, 492; 1995 a. 27 ss. 3780, 9130 (4); 1995 a. 118, 225; 1997 a. 3, 35, 39; 2001 a. 35; 2009 a. 1, 11; 2011 a. 42; 2013 a. 20, 36, 173; 2015 a. 55, 334; 2019 a. 185; 2021 a. 231. 108.142108.142 Wisconsin supplemental benefits. 108.142(1)(1) Definitions.
