2.3.2 Week of Unemployment. Except as
provided in regulations 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, a week of unemployment shall be the
calendar week in which the individual files an initial, additional, or reopened
claim with the division and each calendar week immediately following any such
week for which said individual has filed a continued claim as provided by
regulation or has failed to do so and has established to the satisfaction of
the division that he or she exercised no control over that failure. However, no
week is a week of unemployment unless the individual has worked less than
thirty-two hours during such week, earned less than his or her weekly benefit
amount, and has filed an initial, additional, or reopened claim not later than
Wednesday of that week or has filed a continued claim pursuant to regulation
2.1.7.

individual files an initial, additional, or reopened claim at such itinerant
service point at the first opportunity thereafter, and each calendar week
immediately following such week for which such individual has filed a continued
claim as provided by regulation or has failed to do so and has established to
the satisfaction of the division that he or she exercised no control over that
