Utah Admin. Code R994-402-202 - General Requirements for EB
(1)
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Act concerning regular benefits, a
claimant is ineligible for EB during any week of unemployment in the claimant's
eligibility period if the Department finds that during such period:
(a) the claimant failed to accept any offer
of suitable work as defined in
R994-402-204 or failed to apply
for any suitable work to which he or she was referred by the Department;
or
(b) he or she failed to make an
active, good faith effort to secure employment as provided in Section
R994-402-207.
(2) Any claimant who has been
found ineligible for EB under Subsection
R994-402-202(1)
will be denied benefits until he or she has performed services in bona fide
covered employment for at least four subsequent weeks, whether or not
consecutive, and earned wages for such services equal to at least six times the
claimant's weekly benefit amount.
(3) Notwithstanding
R994-402-204, no claimant will
be denied EB for failure to accept an offer of, or apply for, any job which
meets the definition of suitability as described in that subsection if:
(a) the position was not offered to the
claimant in writing as defined in
R994-402-206 or was not listed
with the Department of Workforce Services;
(b) such failure would not result in a denial
of benefits under the definition of suitable work for regular benefit claimants
in Subsection
35A-4-405(3) to
the extent that the criteria of suitability in that section are not
inconsistent with the provisions of
R994-402-204 or
(c) the claimant meets the requirements of
"good prospects" as defined in
R994-402-205.
(4) No work is considered to be
suitable work unless it complies with the labor standard provisions required by
Section 3304(a)(5) of the Internal
Revenue Code as provided in Subsection
35A-4-405(3).
(5) The Department shall refer any claimant
entitled to EB to any suitable work which meets the criteria prescribed in
R994-402-204.
