Plain Language Explanation:

In order to provide the best possible referrals for employers, this proposed amendment to Part 2865 expands the reasons that an unemployment insurance applicant would be exempted from mandatory registration with the Employment Service.

As a result of a prior amendment to Section 500 of the Unemployment Insurance Act (P.A.92-396), recognizing that the federal Workforce Investment Act replaced the federal Job Training Partnership Act, this amendment to Part 2865 will also provide that the Director will issue blanket approval of training programs implemented pursuant to the federal Workforce Investment Act as she did with regard to programs under the federal Job Training Partnership Act, if both the training and the criteria for an individual's participation meet the statutory requirements. Participating in "approved training" exempts claimants from certain eligibility requirements.
