SB 338 - This act permits unemployment compensation for
workers who are enrolled in an apprenticeship program and are
required to participate in a full-time, unpaid training course.
Claimants must be enrolled in an apprenticeship program that is
certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training of the
U.S. Department of Labor. The Director of Employment Security
may issue blanket approval of training programs certified by the
U.S. Department of Labor. A claimant is eligible for benefits
during the weeks the claimant participates in the full-time,
unpaid training course, provided that the claimant submits proof
of enrollment with each claim for benefits.
