For purposes of subsection 1 of section 1193 of the Employment Security Law, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

A. "Good faith" means that the claimant intended to commence working at and to continue working at new employment.

B. "Accept new employment on a permanent full-time basis" means that the claimant had been affirmatively offered employment on a full-time basis by the new employer. The claimant does not actually have to commence work with the new employer if the new employer either has postponed or withdrawn the job offer. However, it must be shown that a bona fide offer of work existed at the time the claimant separated from employment.
