You said you were not working between [start date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X] and [stop date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X]. During how many of those weeks were you looking for work or on layoff from a job -- during none, some or all of those weeks?
You said you were not working from [start date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X] and [stop date of gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])~X]. That would be about [calculated number of total weeks in b/t job gap([BJGAPS-LOOP13 counter])] week(s) when you were not working.
For how many of these weeks were you looking for work or on layoff from a job?
If Answer = -2 Then Go To Q7-19
