§ 612.392. Failure to accept suitable work or engage in effort to obtain work: Effect on extended benefits

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, a person is not eligible to receive

extended benefits for any week of unemployment in the person's eligibility period

if the Administrator finds that during the period he or she failed to: (a) Accept an offer of suitable work or failed to apply for any suitable work to which

he or she was referred by the Administrator; (b) Actively engage in a systematic and sustained effort to obtain work; or (c) Furnish tangible evidence that he or she had made such efforts. 2. Any person found ineligible for extended benefits pursuant to subsection 1 must

also be denied benefits, beginning with the first day of the week after the week in

which the person was found ineligible, until he or she has been subsequently employed

for 4 weeks and has earned wages equal to not less than four times the weekly amount

of the extended benefit. 3. As used in this section, “ suitable work ” means any work which is within the person's capabilities and for which the gross

average weekly wage: (a) Exceeds the sum of: (1) The amount, if any, of supplemental unemployment benefits (as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 501 ) payable to the person for the week; and (2) The person's weekly amount of extended benefits as determined pursuant to NRS 612.3776 ; and (b) Is not less than the higher of: (1) The minimum wage provided in 29 U.S.C. § 206 , without regard to any exemption; or (2) Any applicable state minimum wage. 4. No person may be denied extended benefits for failure to apply for or accept suitable

work if: (a) The position was not offered to the person in writing or was not listed with the

Division; (b) The failure does not result in a denial of benefits pursuant to NRS 612.390 to the extent that the criteria for suitability in that section are not inconsistent

with the provisions of this section; or (c) The person furnishes evidence satisfactory to the Administrator that the person's

prospects for obtaining work in his or her customary occupation within a reasonably

short period are good. If the evidence is deemed satisfactory, the determination of whether work is suitable

for the person must be made pursuant to NRS 612.390 . 5. The Administrator shall refer any person entitled to extended benefits to any available

suitable work.
