If the benefit year ends during a period of total unemployment for any individual, such individual shall serve a new waiting period of one week before benefits accruing in the new benefit year shall be payable.

During the waiting period, the individual must be eligible in all respects, except for the requirements of subsection (2) of section one of this article. No week shall be counted as the waiting period week if benefits have been paid with respect to such week.
