The maximum potential benefits of any insured worker in a benefit year are the lesser of: (1) twenty times his weekly benefit amount; (2) one-third of his wages for insured work paid during his base period. If the resulting amount is not a multiple of one dollar, the amount must be reduced to the next lower multiple of one dollar, except that no insured worker may receive benefits in a benefit year unless, subsequent to the beginning of the next preceding benefit year during which he received benefits, he performed "insured work" as defined in Section 41-27-300 and earned wages in the employ of a single employer in an amount equal to not less than eight times the weekly benefit amount established for the individual in the preceding benefit year. Effect of Amendment The 2011 amendment in subsection (1) substituted "twenty" for "Twenty-six", and in subsection (2) substituted "one-third" for "One-third".
