Determination of Eligibility and Benefit Amount. (a) When a P.S.O. files a completed data statement at the time of Layoff and the Employer is furnished with the information required, the Employer will determine the P.S.O.'s entitlement to Layoff Benefits and the estimated amount thereof. When a P.S.O. files a completed certification statement after the end of each month of Layoff (within a specified time period as established by the Employer) and the Employer is furnished with the information required, the Employer will determine the actual amounts payable and any adjustment necessary with respect to the Layoff Benefits previously paid for such month. Such adjustments, either underpayments or overpayments, will be made promptly to subsequent Layoff Benefit payments. If the P.S.O. fails to return a completed certification statement within the time period established by the Employer, payment of any future Layoff Benefits will be suspended until the required certification statement is received by the Employer. Any Layoff Benefit amount paid to a P.S.O. for which the P.S.O. fails to return a completed certification statement, shall be subject to being declared an overpayment in accordance with section 4 of Article III of the Plan. Payment of Layoff Benefits for the final month of the P.S.O.'s entitlement may be withheld until the Employer receives the required certification statement applicable to such month.
