Sec. 8. For weeks of unemployment occurring subsequent to December 31, 1977, benefits may not be paid to any individual on the basis of any service substantially all of which consists of participating in sports or athletic events or training or preparing to participate in these events for any week which commences during the period between two (2) successive sport seasons or similar periods, if the individual performed the services in the first of the seasons or similar periods and there is a reasonable assurance that the individual will perform the services in the second of the seasons or similar periods.

Benefits may not be denied, however, for any week which commences during the period between two (2) successive sport seasons or similar periods if the individual has performed services in employment other than participating in sports or athletic events or training or preparing to participate in these events with wage credits earned in the other employment during his base period in sufficient amount to qualify under IC 22-4-14-5 and the individual is otherwise eligible. In these cases, the claim shall be computed based on the wage credits earned with employers other than those employing the individual in sports or athletic events reported for the individual during his base period and in accordance with IC 22-4-12-2 and IC 22-4-12-4. Benefits paid based on this computation shall be only for weeks of unemployment occurring between sport seasons or similar periods. For any weeks of unemployment claimed other than between sports seasons or similar periods, the claims of these individuals shall be recomputed to include all base period wages.

As added by Acts 1977, P.L.262, SEC.23.
