Virginia Employment Commission Frequently Asked Question
What if I attend school or a training program?:
Be sure you report any classes you are taking during weeks claimed. You may receive benefits while attending school, depending upon the course of study and the required attendance each week. If you desire to attend school or a training program to improve your employment possibilities, you need to request approval in advance through your VEC Workforce Center. The VEC will determine if your training will be approved and advise you on work search requirements while you are in school or a training program.
