Article 7 - Benefits
§ 34-8-194. Grounds for Disqualification of Benefits

An individual shall be disqualified for benefits:
For purposes of this subparagraph, the term “family violence” shall have the same meaning as in Code Section 19-13-1 and the term “family violence shelter” shall have the same meaning as in Code Section 19-13-20.
When a stoppage of work due to a labor dispute ceases and operations are resumed at the factory, establishment, or other premises at which the employee is or was last employed but the employee has not been restored to such last employment, the employee’s disqualification for benefits under this paragraph shall be deemed to have ceased at such time as the Commissioner shall determine such stoppage of work to have ceased and such operations to have been resumed. Benefits shall not be paid for any week during which the employee is engaged in picketing or is a participant in a picket line at the factory, establishment, or other premises at which the employee is or was last employed even though the stoppage of work shall have ceased and operations have been resumed;
