430 CMR 9.06 - Rights and Obligations of Program Participants
(1) Benefits provided under M.G.L. c. 151A,
§ 30(c) are payable only while the claimant is in attendance at the
training course, or while participating in a Section 30-approved classroom
training portion of an apprenticeship program approved by the Division of
Apprenticeship Standards and the Director under
430
CMR 9.04. If the claimant finishes training
or ceases to attend training, the claimant will be entitled to the remaining
regular unemployment insurance benefit credit if otherwise eligible. In order
to qualify for benefits under M.G.L. c. 151A, § 30(c), a claimant must
begin training prior to the expiration of the benefit year, unless otherwise
permitted under
430 CMR 9.00. If a claimant is
approved to collect benefits under M.G.L. c. 151A, § 30(c) and the benefit
year then expires while the claimant is still attending training, a new benefit
year claim must be filed and the facts investigated. If, as a result of the new
benefit year claim, the claimant is not eligible for the new benefit year
claim, the claimant may continue to collect benefits on the old benefit year
claim under M.G.L. c. 151A, § 30(c) beyond the benefit year expiration
date. If the claimant is eligible for a new benefit year claim, the facts will
be investigated and another determination of entitlement to training benefits
under M.G.L. c. 151A, § 30(c) will be made on the new claim.
(2) Participants approved under M.G.L. c.
151A, § 30(c) shall not be required to engage in work search activities,
and shall be deemed available for suitable work during any week in which the
participant is in attendance at the approved training program, or during an
approved break in training pursuant to
430 CMR
9.07.
