upon any of the following occurrences: (1) When the individual applies for unemployment compensation; (2) When an individual who receives notification of a pending layoff is contacted

by the department prior to the layoff by means of a response team or by other means;

or (3) Not later than 60 days after the effective date of this act, if the individual

has already been laid off and is receiving unemployment benefits upon that effective

date. b. If an individual is given pre-notification of a permanent layoff and subsequently

receives vocational training or remedial education provided by any employment and

program if permitting the individual to commence the training or education prior to

the termination of employment will result in a reduction of federal funding for the

program.
