(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, a determination of eligibility under ORS 657.150 (2) may not be made using paragraph (a) of this subsection if the individual qualifies or would qualify for regular benefits under the unemployment law of another governmental jurisdiction using that jurisdiction’s standard base year.

(c) Work and earnings in a calendar quarter that is included in a claim determined to be eligible using the base year as defined in paragraph (a) of this subsection cannot be included in the base year of a subsequent claim unless the subsequent claim’s base year is extended under ORS 657.170 to include the calendar quarter.

(2)(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this subsection, the definition of "base year" that applies for the purposes of determining an individual’s eligibility for benefits under ORS 657.150 applies for all purposes under this chapter related to that individual’s claim.

(b) When making a finding under ORS 657.170 (1), "base year" has the meaning given that term in ORS 657.010 (1).
