(a) in case such insurance year is the first insurance year, the beginning of that insurance year,

(b) in any other case, the beginning of the insurance year next preceding the insurance year in which the intermittent unemployment occurs.

(2) The second condition (in this Act referred to as the second statutory condition) for the receipt by an insured person of supplementary benefit in respect of intermittent unemployment on any day is that the current unemployment book issued to him under the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1920, is in the possession of his employer on that day.
