You participate in an approved training program
If you are receiving or have received Training Benefits, we may have sent you one or more Statement of Wages and Hours that are wrong. We sincerely apologize for this. Fixing this error as soon as possible is a high priority for us.Training Benefits can pay up to 52 times your weekly benefit amount, minus any regular benefits paid to you or until your approved training ends – whichever comes first. Emergency Unemployment Benefits are not deducted from the total Training Benefits available to you. If any state-level extended benefits are made available in the future, those payments are counted as a part of your total training-benefits allotment.
If you have any questions about Training Benefits, including how much you have available, please call the Training Benefits Hotline toll-free at 877-600-7701.
Unemployment laws require that you must be able, available and actively seeking work every week in order to receive benefits. Attending school raises a question about your eligibility for benefits because of the time involved in attending classes and studying.
However, if you need training to find new work, you may be eligible for one of our approved training programs.
