Charging Of Benefits Paid Due To Federal Disaster

Each contributing employer's account shall not be subject to potential pro rata benefit charges during the period wherein a claimant's eligibility for unemployment benefits is directly attributable to unavailability of work due to a federally certified disaster which results in the suspension or termination of operations by such employer. Any nonprofit organization or governmental unit electing to make payments in lieu of contributions shall not be relieved of charges for benefits paid to an individual whose eligibility for unemployment benefits is directly attributable to unavailability of work due to a federally certified disaster.
