A. Claimants for unemployment compensation benefits shall be required to report and file claims weekly in a timely manner and in accordance with such procedures as the Department may adopt unless the Department shall prescribe for the bi-weekly filing of claims, as set out below.

The Department may at any time direct that claimants for unemployment compensation benefits shall be required to report and file claims bi-weekly in such manner and in accordance with such procedure as the Department may adopt. The following provisions shall apply during any period with respect to which the Department directed the bi-weekly filing of claims.

1. All bi-weekly claims filed on the date specified for claimant's reporting shall be deemed to have been taken for the period of unemployment covered by the claim.
