However, no week shall be considered a week of unemployment unless the individual has worked less than thirty-two hours during such week and earned less than his or her weekly benefit amount.
2.3.4 Failure to Meet Requirements. A week of unemployment for an individual who has failed to timely file an initial, additional, or reopened claim for benefits as provided in these regulations shall be the earliest calendar week in which the individual established to the satisfaction of the division that he or she exercised no control over the circumstances of the failure to act timely. Thereafter, weeks of unemployment shall be the calendar weeks immediately following any such week for which the 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.
