. "Benefit year", with respect to any individual, means the
52-week period beginning with the first day of the week with respect
to which the individual first files a valid claim for benefits and
thereafter the 52-week period beginning with the week in which such
individual again files a valid claim after the termination of his or

"valid claim" within the meaning of this section, an individual
otherwise unemployed shall be deemed unemployed even though wages, as

termination of performance of services are payable with respect to
the week for which he or she files the claim.
