"ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS "SEC. 9 .

No week shall be counted as a week of unemployment for the purposes of this subsection- "(1) unless it occurs within the benefit year which includes the week with respect to which he claims payment of benefits; "(2) if benefits have been paid with respect thereto; and "(3) unless the individual was eligible for benefits with respect thereto as provided in sections 9 and 10 of this Act, except for the requirements of this subsection and of subsec- tion (f) of section 10. "DISQUALIFICATION FOR BENEFITS "SEC. 10. (a) An individual who has left his most recent work voluntarily without good cause, as determined by the Board under regulations prescribed by it, shall not be eligible for benefits with respect to the week in which he so left nor with respect to the three weeks of consecutive unemployment immediately following.
