Section 31-236-56 - Voluntary retirement(a) Where the Administrator determines that an individual voluntarily retired, the individual shall be ineligible for benefits until he has again become employed and been paid wages at least 40 times his benefit rate, except that an individual shall be eligible for benefits if the Administrator finds that an individual retired because:(1) his work had become unsuitable considering his physical condition and the degree of risk to his health and safety; and(2) he had requested of his employer other work which was suitable, provided that it is established that such a request could have provided a reasonable alternative to leaving employment; and(3) his employer did not offer him suitable work.(b) The Administrator shall find that an individual voluntarily retired if the individual terminated his employment solely by his own choosing pursuant to a non-compulsory retirement plan, whether or not pension benefits become payable as a result of such termination.(c) The Administrator shall not find that an individual voluntarily retired if such termination was primarily induced by efforts of the individual's employer to close his facility or eliminate the individual's position, or if the individual reasonably believed his employment would be severed if he rejected his employer's inducement to retire.Conn.
