Able and Available for Work and Refusal of Suitable Work

Information from Neighborhood Legal Services on the "able and available for suitable work" and "refusal of suitable work" requirements for unemployment compensation. To receive unemployment compensation, you must be “able and available” for suitable work (43 P.S. § 801(d)). People are sometimes denied benefits because they are found not to be “able and available”. You will lose your unemployment compensation if you refuse “suitable” work without “good cause” (43 P.S. § 802(a)).
