If you are going to school or attending training, you may still receive unemployment benefits, depending upon the course of study and the required attendance each week.
Before entering training or schooling, contact the Customer Contact Center at (866) 832-2363 to determine if your schooling or training will create an issue. (If your training or schooling takes place during evening hours, only on weekends, or is self-directed, then this should not affect your ability to obtain a daytime job and may not pose an issue for your job search.).
If you desire to attend school or a training program to improve your employment possibilities, you need to request approval from VEC in advance. If you are already in school or training, report changes on your weekly request for payment of benefits. You will be contacted for additional information.
