Ariz. Admin. Code § R6-3-53150 - Distance to Work (refusal of Work 150)
Commuting distance
1. Offered work which is beyond reasonable
commuting distance generally would not be suitable work unless the distance is
customary for the claimant or most workers residing in the same locality as the
claimant.
2. Offered work which
would require a claimant to move to a new locality beyond reasonable commuting
distance generally would not be suitable work. Factors to be considered in
determining exceptions include:
a. Financial
detriment to relocation,
b. Family
restrictions to relocation,
c.
Duration of claimant's unemployment,
d. Expected duration and wage of offered
job,
e. Customs of claimant's
customary occupation, and
f.
Prospects of work in customary occupation within reasonable commuting
distance.
3. "Beyond
reasonable commuting distance" is generally:
a. More than 20 miles from the claimant's
residence to place of employment, or
b. More than one hour elapsed commuting time
one way, or
c. Commuting expense
equal to 15% or more of the claimant's prospective gross wage. (The Department
accepts the mileage allowance paid state of Arizona employees for use of their
private vehicles for official travel as the standard for determining cost of
travel to the claimant.)
