Ability to work; available for work; military service; approved trainingCurrent as of: 2009Check for updatesIC 22-4-14-3Ability to work; available for work; military service; approved training Sec. 3. (a) An individual who is receiving benefits as determined under IC 22-4-15-1(c)(8) may restrict the individual's availability because of the individual's need to address the physical, psychological, or legal effects of being a victim of domestic or family violence (as defined in IC 31-9-2-42). (b) An unemployed individual shall be eligible to receive benefits with respect to any week only if the individual: (1) is physically and mentally able to work; (2) is available for work; (3) is found by the department to be making an effort to secure full-time work; and (4) participates in reemployment services, such as job search assistance services, if the individual has been determined to be likely to exhaust regular benefits and to need reemployment services under a profiling system established by the department, unless the department determines that: (A) the individual has completed the reemployment services; or (B) failure by the individual to participate in or complete the reemployment services is excused by the director under IC 22-4-14-2(b).The term "effort to secure full-time work" shall be defined by the department through rule which shall take into consideration whether such individual has a reasonable assurance of reemployment and, if so, the length of the prospective period of unemployment, but must include as a condition the individual's submission of at least one (1) application for work in each week for which the individual is claiming benefits. An individual who submits an application for work online through an Internet web site complies with this condition. However, if an otherwise eligible individual is unable to work or unavailable for work on any normal work day of the week the individual shall be eligible to receive benefits with respect to such week reduced by one-third (1/3) of the individual's weekly benefit amount for each day of such inability to work or unavailability for work. (c) For the purpose of this article, unavailability for work of an individual exists in, but is not limited to, any case in which, with respect to any week, it is found: (1) that such individual is engaged by any unit, agency, or instrumentality of the United States, in charge of public works or assistance through public employment, or any unit, agency, or instrumentality of this state, or any political subdivision thereof, in charge of any public works or assistance through public employment; (2) that such individual is in full-time active military service of the United States, or is enrolled in civilian service as a conscientious objector to military service; (3) that such individual is suspended for misconduct in connection with the individual's work; or (4) that such individual is in attendance at a regularly established public or private school during the customary hours of the individual's occupation or is in any vacation period intervening between regular school terms during which the individual is a student. However, this subdivision does not apply to any individual who is attending a regularly established school, has been regularly employed and upon becoming unemployed makes an effort to secure full-time work and is available for suitable full-time work with the individual's last employer, or is available for any other full-time employment deemed suitable. (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this section or IC 22-4-15-2, no otherwise eligible individual shall be denied benefits for any week because the individual is in training with the approval of the department, nor shall such individual be denied benefits with respect to any week in which the individual is in training with the approval of the department by reason of the application of the provisions of this section with respect to the availability for work or active search for work or by reason of the application of the provisions of IC 22-4-15-2 relating to failure to apply for, or the refusal to accept, suitable work. The department shall by rule prescribe the conditions under which approval of such training will be granted.(Formerly: Acts 1947, c.208, s.1403; Acts 1951, c.307, s.3; Acts 1955, c.317, s.8; Acts 1967, c.310, s.18; Acts 1971, P.L.355, SEC.30; Acts 1975, P.L.253, SEC.1.)

Brian Hargis: ... I own a lawn and landscape company. I am the only employee. I work from March to December . I was denied benefits last Dec of 2010, filed an appeal and won my case by law judge James Martin. I filed and was denied again December of 2011 for the exact reason as the previous year: Whether the claiment was able, available, and making an effort to secure full-time work. I have a return to work date as I did the previous year which serves as a job search waiver. I pay my qtrly. contributions and I devote no hours to my bussiness during the down time and I do not advertise. Before I filed this Dec. 2011 I spoke with 5 persons in Workforce Dev. including a deputy that could not answer one question.... am I elligible. I have a hearing before Administrative Law Judge Michael White. So here is my Question. If I am found inelligible can I stop paying my qrtly. contributions? IF my employee [MYSELF] can never be elligible to file a claim then why should my employer [myself] have to pay qurtly. contributions? This seems unfair to me as an employer and an employee.1
Steven Daily: ... Your question assumes that if you lose your claim, then you can never be eligible for unemployment benefits. You might lose your claim due the particular factual circumstances of how you came to be out of work, or based on what you have or have not done to obtain work. That does not mean that you will never be eligible for benefits. In any event, the answer is no, you cannot stop paying these taxes simply because your claim has been denied. 2
Brian Hargis: ... Thank you Steven Daily for your reply and I understand it. If I am denied the question will be why? I have filed for the last 10 years exactly the same way according to Indiana Codes so I would be elligible. Last year I had a hearing before law judge James Martin and won my case and received my benefits. Last year was only the second time I had to appeal in 10 years and both times I won. I allways file the same way and nothing has changed. Has anything been revised in IC that would effedt me?3
Steven Daily: ... I am not aware of any changes. Good luck with the hearing.4
Brian Hargis: ... I lost my appeal today. The findings of fact stated that with the exception of inquiring into a chaufer's posistion the claiment has sought work only with other landscape bussinesses; he has done so even though since 2001 he has never obtained landscaping during the Dec. through March off season. In the conclusions of law it states that an unemployed inividual should be making an effort to secure full time work. All the years I received benefits I never had to look for work. I am a seasonal employee with a definite return to work date so they allways gave me a job search waiver and when filing was changed to online filing the voucher when asked if the claiment looked for work it states ; helpfull hint; answer yes even if you have a return to work date. Even if a job waiver no longer exists I gave and have proof that I looked for work at 4 places which should entitle me to 4 weeks of benefits. Ifeel that Law Judge Michal White was very biased in his decision for he stated that I had only sought work through other landscape companies as if that is not exceptable. This is my profession and where in Indiana Code does it say I can't look where I want? Please send me any IC regarding seasonal workers and return to work dates regarding job search waivers and anything regarding his bias on how I looked for a job under IC for I will appeal the decision even if I need an attorney. Thank you, Brian Hargis5
