R994-403-109b. Profiled Claimants

  (1) The Department will identify individuals who are likely to exhaust unemployment benefits through a profiling system and require that they participate in reemployment services. These services may include job search workshops, job placement services, counseling, testing, and assessment.

  (2) In order to avoid disqualification for failure to participate in reemployment services, the claimant must show good cause for nonparticipation. Good cause is limited to circumstances where the claimant can show that the reasons for the delay in filing were due to circumstances beyond the claimant's control or were compelling and reasonable.

  (3) Failure to participate in reemployment services without good cause will result in a denial of benefits beginning with the week the claimant refuses or fails to attend scheduled services and continuing until the week the claimant participates in the required reemployment service.

  (4) Some reasons for good cause for nonparticipation may raise other eligibility issues.
