Except as provided in Sections 708 and 708.5, the maximum amount of benefits payable to an individual during any one disability benefit period shall be 52 times his or her weekly benefit amount, but in no case shall the total amount of the benefits payable be more than the total wages paid to the individual during his or her disability base period. If the benefit is not a multiple of one dollar ($1) it shall be computed to the next higher multiple of one dollar ($1).
This section shall apply to periods of disability commencing on or after January 1, 1984.
