Section R994-403-115c - Period of Ineligibility(1) Eligibility for benefits is established on a weekly basis. If the Department has determined that the claimant is not able or available for work, and it appears the circumstances will likely continue, an indefinite disqualification will be assessed, and the claimant must requalify by showing that he or she is able and available for work.(2) If the Department has reason to believe a claimant has not made a good faith effort to seek work, or the Department is performing a routine audit of a claim, the Department can only require that the claimant provide proof of work search activities for the four weeks immediately preceding the Department's request. However, if the claimant admits he or she did not complete the work search activities required under this rule, the Department can disqualify a claimant for more than four weeks. The claimant will be disqualified for any week during which he or she fails to provide the information required under R994-403-114 c(5).(3) If the Department seeks verification of a job contact from an employer, the claimant will only be disqualified if the employer provides clear and convincing evidence that there was no contact.(4) The claimant will be disqualified for all weeks in which it is discovered that the claimant was not able or available to accept work without regard to the four-week limitation.Utah Admin.
