BOR 115501

BOR ruled that client did not refuse suitable employment when the employer who had laid her off in December 2008 recalled her to work in April 2009.  The client had already applied for and been approved for Section 30 benefits, but her training program did not start until May 2009.  The Board held that “the claimant’s timely submission of and approval for training benefits before her employer recalled her to work qualifies her for regular and extended benefits, pursuant to G.L. c. 151A, [s.] 30.”
