State Information Request: Unemployment Benefits While Pursuing Postsecondary Education or Training (archive)

A state higher education official asked states that include states include enrollment in training or postsecondary education as an eligible requirement for maintaining unemployment benefits.

Our response includes examples from three states, plus two additional resources. To provide timely assistance to our constituents, State Information Requests are typically completed in 48 hours.
