Okla. Stat. tit. 40, § 40-2-108: Benefits - Approved training

BENEFITS - APPROVED TRAINING.

A. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no otherwise

eligible individual shall be denied benefits for any week because

the individual is in training with the approval of the Oklahoma

Employment Security Commission, nor shall such individual be denied

benefits with respect to any week in which the individual is in

training with the approval of the Commission by reason of the

application of provisions of law relating to availability for work,

active search for work, failure to apply for, or a refusal to

accept, suitable work. Such approval for training shall be

determined by consideration of all the following factors:

1. The individual's skills are obsolete or such that there are

minimal opportunities for employment;

2. Training is for an occupation for which there is a

substantial and recurring demand; and

3. The individual possesses aptitudes or skills which can be

supplemented by retraining within a reasonable time.

B. Any individual in training approved by the Commission will

produce satisfactory evidence of continued attendance and

satisfactory progress, when requested by the Commission. Failure to

comply shall result in a disqualification of benefits for each week

of occurrence.
