Illinois Administrative Code
Title 56 - LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
Part 2865 - CLAIMANT'S AVAILABILITY FOR WORK, ABILITY TO WORK AND ACTIVE SEARCH FOR WORK
Subpart B - REGULAR BENEFITS
Section 2865.125 - Availability for Part-Time Work Only
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The requirement that a claimant shall be able and available for full-time work shall not be applied to a claimant who can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that, for him or her, only part-time work, defined in Section 2720.1, is suitable because:
a) He or she restricts his or her availability to part-time work due to:
b) He or she is seeking work in an area where a labor market for the part-time work applicable to him or her and suitable to his or her skill, training or experience normally exists; and
c) He or she has a reasonable possibility of securing that part-time work suitable to his or her skill, training or experience.
EXAMPLE: The claimant is the single parent of a school age child. While otherwise suitable, full-time work exists for a person with his skill, training or experience, the claimant believes that it is in the best interest of his child that he be with the child when the child is not in school. This claimant would not be eligible for benefits, for he unduly restricts his availability to part-time work based on a personal preference. The alternative of child care arrangements would allow this claimant to work full-time.
