Universal Citation: 8 AK Admin Code 8 AAC 85.357

Current through August 30, 2024

(a) A claimant is not available for work for any week in which the claimant fails to participate in reemployment services if the claimant has been determined by the director likely to exhaust regular benefits and need reemployment services, unless the claimant has

(1) completed the reemployment services; or

(2) has good cause under (b) of this section for failure to participate in the reemployment services.

(b) The director shall find that a claimant has good cause for failure to participate in reemployment services or related services under (a) of this section if the cause would lead a reasonable and prudent person not to participate in those services and the claimant took the actions that a reasonable and prudent person would take in order to participate. A claimant no longer has good cause when the cause preventing participation ends. Good cause includes

(1) circumstances beyond the claimant's control;

(2) circumstances that waive the availability for work requirement in AS 23.20.378;

(3) attendance at training approved under AS 23.20.382 and 8 AAC 85.200; and
