(b)  Claims shall be filed according to the agent state's regulations for intrastate claims in the same manner as provided in Rule .0101 of this Subchapter.

If a claimant files more than one reporting period late, the filing shall open an additional claim, and no continued claim for a past period shall be accepted.

(2)           With respect to weeks of unemployment during which a claimant is attached to his regular employer, the liable state shall accept any claim filed within the time applicable to claims under the law of the agent state.
