Appendix Table 1. UI Rules on Availability and CaregivingStatePart-Time Availability for Allor with Good CausePart-Time AvailabilityPermitted with Work HistoryAvailability Only forFull-Time WorkNew Hampshire●New Jersey●New Mexico●New York●North Carolina●North Dakota●Ohio●Oklahoma●Oregon●Pennsylvania●Rhode Island●South Carolina●South Dakota●Tennessee●Texas●Utah●Vermont●Virginia●Washington●West Virginia●Wisconsin●Wyoming●Total 10 20 21Notes for Table 1: There are 51 UI jurisdictions (50 states and the District of Columbia). The 10 states in the first column (next to “State”) evaluateavailability on a case-by-case basis without discriminating against part-time work, or they permit claimants with good cause (such asfamily responsibilities) to seek part-time work. This application of availability is more favorable to claimants than rules found in other states.The 20 states in the second column adopted the “past history” option concerning part-time work under UI Modernization, or they had similarprovisions in place prior to 2009. Under either situation, states require that those limiting their availability to part-time work have a historyof part-time work prior to filing a claim. Part-time work generally means at least 20 hours a week but less than full-time hours. In most cases,this means that a majority or more of a claimant’s qualifying wages were earned in part-time work. As a result, only those caregivers workingpart time prior to losing work can satisfy the availability requirements.These 21 states in the third column have a statute or rule requiring UI claimants to be available for full-time work, rendering claimants withfamily or other limitations on availability ineligible as they cannot declare themselves available for full-time work.20 NELP | HOW UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE RULES FAIL WORKERS WITH VOLATILE JOB SCHEDULES
