(2) Where an unemployment insurance benefit period of an employee terminates prior to the termination of a transitional assistance benefit period of the employee, transitional assistance benefits continue to be payable to him in accordance with these Regulations but shall not be paid if the employee is able to establish a new unemployment insurance benefit period and fails to do so.

(3) The provisions of section 57 of the Unemployment Insurance Act and the Regulations relating thereto apply mutatis mutandis to these Regulations.
