Availability
II. Principles of Law
(f) Commission Warnings
In many cases, the Commission will give a claimant a warning that he or she must expand his or her job search in order to satisfy the requirement of availability under the Act.
However, where it is clear that a claimant is truly unavailable, the Commission's failure to provide him or her with advance warning will not mean that the claimant is automatically entitled to benefits.
