Effective for benefit month 04/2020 until further notice, see
Urgent Bulletin emailed 03/27/2020 regarding work requirements.
Participants are exempt from VQ/RWE/Refusal of Job Offer requirements when the following applies:
●The CA participant currently is, or was exempt from
Jobs Participation at the time of the voluntary quit, reduction in work effort or refusal of job offer.
●The NA participant currently is, or was exempt from
NA Work Registration at the time of the voluntary quit, or reduction in work effort, or refusal of job offer.

|
|
Participants who are employed are exempt from NA work requirements or CA Jobs participation requirements. These participants are not exempt from VQ/RWE requirements. (See WORW for work registration status)
|
●The voluntary quit or reduction in work effort results from one of the following:
Reduction of work hours by the employer, while working for that same employer
Terminating a self-employment enterprise
Resigning from a job or reducing work hours at the demand of the employer
●For NA, the participant reduces work hours to less than 30 hours a week but continues to earn weekly wages that exceed the Federal minimum wage multiplied by 30 hours.
●The participant who voluntarily quits or reduces work effort accepts other employment of comparable hours or salary.

Do not consider a job incomparable simply because the number of hours or the salary of the new job is lower than the job that is quit. A participant can quit a job for one that might offer more opportunity.
