Sec. 31-236d. Eligibility of individual in training approved under the Trade
Act of 1974. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, an otherwise eligible
individual shall not be denied unemployment compensation benefits for any week because he is in training approved under Section 236(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, nor
shall such individual be denied benefits because of leaving work to enter such training,
provided the work left is not suitable work, or because of the application to any such
week in training of provisions in this chapter or any applicable federal unemployment
compensation law relating to availability for work, active search for work, or refusal to
accept work. For purposes of this section, "suitable work" means, with respect to an
individual, work of a substantially equal or higher skill level than the individual's past
adversely affected employment, as defined for purposes of the Trade Act of 1974, and
wages for such work at not less than eighty per cent of the individual's average weekly
wage as determined for purposes of the Trade Act of 1974.
