Highlights

Effective June 9, 2006, Applicants or recipients who voluntarily quit or are fired, with cause, from their job are no longer subject to a temporary period of ineligibility.

As a condition of eligibility, recipients must participate in an approved employment activity. They may be found in non-compliance if they fail to make reasonable efforts to accept and maintain full-time, part-time or casual employment.

A period of ineligibility continues to apply to applicants who fail to make reasonable efforts to accept and maintain full-time, part-time or casual employment (i.e., recipients are non-compliant with participation requirements).

In these cases, the period of ineligibility is one month (for the first occurrence) and three months (for subsequent occurrences) commencing on the date in which the administrator makes a decision relating to the reasons noted above.
