ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

To be eligible for benefits for any week, you must be:

Available for suitable work

You must be:

  • ready and willing to accept work in your usual occupation or other suitable employment;
  • willing to seek and accept the hours, wage, commuting distance, and other conditions of employment that are normal for someone in your occupation with your skills and experience, and;
  • willing to rearrange or quit classes if you are a student offered suitable work and it conflicts with the normal days or hours of your occupation. An exception would be if you are a dislocated worker in full-time training that you need in order to re-enter the job market.

You are not eligible if you:

  • are traveling outside your commuting area, unless it is to look for work.
  • have a physical or medical condition that prevents you from working or looking for work.

Actively seeking suitable work

You must actively look for work even if you have a part-time job or expect to return to a seasonal job. You must make a serious effort to find work every week.
