(2) Thirteen (13) times the weekly benefit rate which was payable to him under this chapter for a week of total unemployment in the applicable benefit year.

(3) Effective with respect to weeks beginning in a high unemployment period, subsections (1) and (2) of this section shall be applied by substituting:
