Ariz. Admin. Code § R6-3-52295 - Length of Unemployment (able and Available 295)
A. In determining whether a claimant is
available for work, consideration must be given to his length of unemployment.
Although a claimant should be allowed a reasonable period of time in which to
obtain suitable work at his highest skill, prolonged unwillingness to accept
other work for which he is qualified may, in effect, render the claimant
unavailable. Therefore, as the period of the claimant's unemployment lengths,
he will be expected to lessen the restrictions he imposes as to the type of
work he is seeking and is willing to accept.
B. Generally, the reasonable period in which
a claimant shall be allowed to restrict his availability to his highest skill
without denial of benefits will be the periods specified in
R6-3-53295 .
These periods are guides for availability purposes. In determining when a
claimant should be required to widen his search for work, the adjudicator shall
consider the claimant's personal circumstances and the prevailing labor market
conditions.
C. A claimant shall be
deemed unavailable because he restricts his search or willingness to accept
work to his highest skill;
1. Beyond a
reasonable period of adjustment; or
2. Whenever the possibility of obtaining work
at his highest skill is remote and there is a reasonable expectation of his
securing other suitable work for which he is qualified.
D. A claimant shall not be deemed unavailable
because he restricts his search or willingness to accept work, to his highest
skill if:
1. He has good prospects of work at
his highest skill; or
2. Prospects
of obtaining it are extremely limited due to excess job seekers for that type
of work or other labor market conditions.
