1. Services performed by an individual for a single employing unit, which services customarily are performed in more than one state, must be deemed to be services performed entirely within any one of the states: a. In which any part of such individual's services is performed;b. In which such individual has such individual's residence; orc. In which the employing unit maintains a place of business if there is in effect as to such services, an election, approved by the agency charged with the administration of such state's unemployment compensation law, pursuant to which all the services performed by such individual for such employing unit, are deemed to be entirely within such state;2. Potential rights to benefits accumulated under the unemployment compensation laws of one or more states or under one or more such laws of the federal government, or both, may constitute the basis for the payment of benefits through a single appropriate agency under terms which the bureau finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected interests and will not result in any substantial loss to the fund;3. Wages or services, upon the basis of which an individual may become entitled to benefits under an unemployment compensation law of another state or of the federal government, must be deemed to be wages for insured work for the purpose of determining the individual's rights to benefits under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law, and wages for insured work, on the basis of which an individual may become entitled to benefits under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law, must be deemed to be wages or services on the basis of which unemployment compensation under such law of another state or of the federal government is payable. No such arrangement may be entered into unless it contains provisions for reimbursements to the fund for such of the benefits paid under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law upon the basis of such wages or services, and provisions for reimbursements from the fund for such of the compensation paid under such other law upon the basis of wages for insured work, as the bureau finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected interests; and4. Contributions due under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law with respect to wages for insured work, for the purposes of sections 52-04-11 through 52-04-14, must be deemed to have been paid to the fund as of the date payment was made as contributions therefor under another state or federal unemployment compensation law, but no such arrangement may be entered into unless it contains provisions for such reimbursements to the fund of such contributions and the actual earnings thereon as the bureau finds will be fair and reasonable as to all affected interests.
