The claimant's residence for the purpose of determining suitability of employment, or good cause for refusal, is the place at which the individual maintains a permanent home. The claimant, a longshoreman, returned to Eureka when, because of lack of work, he was unable to continue to support two residences on his reduced income. The claimant had good cause to leave . Such employment is not suitable, and is not made so simply because the claimant had accepted similar employment in the past . . . . When a transient or migratory worker refuses an offer or referral because he or she is unable to find housing, eligibility will depend on what efforts the claimant has made to secure housing.
Most communities normally have some type of temporary housing arrangements available.
Nevertheless, if the claimant is not able to accept work because he or she cannot secure housing, good cause may exist for the refusal. Gray Davis, Governor.
