12-172-24 Me. Code R. § 1
Subsections 6 and 6-C of section 1192 of the Employment Security Law authorize the Bureau of Unemployment Services ("Bureau") to approve training for claimants who are eligible for unemployment compensation or dislocated worker benefits. Upon the Bureau's approval of such training, a claimant who is otherwise eligible for unemployment compensation benefits shall not be denied such benefits for any week due to the availability and work search requirements of subsection 3 of section 1192, nor for refusal to accept work under subsection 3 of section 1193. In addition, a dislocated worker, as defined in section 1196, of the Employment Security Law who is eligible for additional benefits under subsection 4(A) of section 1191, may not be denied benefits because the individual is in training approved by the Bureau, nor may that individual be denied benefits by reason of leaving work to enter such training, provided that the work left is not suitable employment. For purposes of approving training requests in accordance with subsection 6 and 6-C of section 1192, the Bureau shall use the procedures and standards set forth herein.
