     39-51-2306. Disqualification because of receipt of certain other wages, compensation, or benefits. (1) Effective April 1, 1977, an individual shall be disqualified for benefits for any week with respect to which he is receiving or has received payment in the form of:
     (a) compensation for disability under the workers' compensation law or the occupational disease law of this or any other state or under a similar law of the United States or under the social security disability law. However, when an injured claimant has ceased to draw compensation benefits and shall have returned to the labor market, he shall then be entitled to receive unemployment compensation benefits under this chapter if he shall be otherwise qualified. Compensation which is received as a payment for a permanent partial disability shall not be computed to be spread over a period of weeks in advance so as to bar the recipient from receiving unemployment compensation benefits under this chapter, provided the recipient has returned to the labor market and is otherwise qualified.
     (b) benefits under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act or any state unemployment compensation act or similar laws of any state or of the United States. This disqualification does not apply to any week with respect to which an individual is receiving or has received benefits under an unemployment compensation law of another state or of the United States if such benefits are paid pursuant to 39-51-504.
     (2) Receipt of any wages, compensation, or benefits as set forth in subsection (1) of this section after payment of unemployment benefits and with respect to the same week for which unemployment benefits were received will thereupon require such individual to repay such unemployment benefits, and the department may collect such unemployment benefits in the same manner as provided for collection of benefits under 39-51-3206.
