CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS	

2.6 APPROVED-TRAINING COURSE

2.6.1 Statutory Reference: 8-73-107 (4), and 8-73-114, C.R.S.

2.6.2 Approved Training. The claimant must produce evidence of continued attendance and satisfactory progress in an approved-training course when requested by the division.  In determining whether or not a training course will be approved for an individual claiming benefits under the provisions of 8-73-107 (4), C.R.S., the division shall consider, among other factors, the following:

.1 Whether the claimant's skills are such that reasonable employment opportunities do not exist or have substantially diminished in the labor-market area of the claimant to the extent that, in the judgement of the division, the individual has little or no prospect of obtaining suitable employment;

.2 Whether the claimant possesses the qualifications and aptitudes to successfully complete the program of training;

.3 Whether there is a reasonable expectation that the claimant will complete the training course;

.4 Whether the training relates to an occupation or skill for which there are, or are expected to be, reasonable employment opportunities for the claimant; and

.5 Whether the training course is reasonably designed to result in the claimant's prompt reemployment in suitable work.

2.6.3 Effect of Participation in Approved Training.  With respect to any week in which a claimant is participating in a training program with the approval of the division and meets the requirements of this section, he or she shall not be denied benefits for the reason that he or she is not actively searching for work or that he or she has failed to apply for or refused to accept suitable work.

2.6.4 ENHANCED UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE COMPENSATION BENEFITS.

.1  Availability of Enhanced Benefits.  Enhanced benefit payments will be made only until the total amount available to cover all  costs to the state of Colorado under section 903(g) of the federal “social security act” as specified in 8-73-114, C.R.S., are substantially exhausted or June 30, 2012 whichever comes first.

.2  Authorization to Participate.  A Colorado local workforce center will determine whether a claimant is authorized to participate and the Unemployment Program will adjust and pay continued unemployment insurance claims to include the enhanced unemployment insurance compensation for authorized participants who are eligible. 

.1  The authorization to participate made by workforce centers is not appealable within the UI Program.

.3  Eligibility Determinations.  Eligibility determinations for the continuation of enhanced unemployment insurance compensation to the authorized participants will be issued by the Unemployment Insurance Program to participants only after a claimant is subsequently deemed ineligible under 8-73-114 and only for reasons other than funds no longer being substantially available under the aforementioned acts.  Eligibility determinations need not be issued when funds are no longer substantially available.  The eligibility determinations issued by the unemployment insurance program are appealable as described in part xi of the regulations.

.1 In no way shall an eligibility determination or payment of enhanced unemployment insurance compensation benefits or services arising from authorization to participate in receiving said compensation be construed as an entitlement.

JOB SEPARATIONS	

4.1  Separations Related to Relocation

4.1.1 Statutory Reference: 8-73-108 (4), C.R.S

4.1.2 Spouse’s Employment Location Changed.
