Okla. Stat. tit. 40, § 40-2-408: Suitable work

SUITABLE WORK.

(1) In determining whether or not any work is suitable for an

individual, there shall be considered among other factors and in

addition to those enumerated in Section 2-409 the length of his

unemployment, his prospects for obtaining work in his customary

occupation, the distance of available work from his residence and

prospects for obtaining local work.

(2) Suitable work shall be defined as employment in an

occupation in keeping with the individual's prior work experience,

education or training, or having no prior work experience, special

education or training for occupations available in the general area

then, employment for which the individual would have the physical

and mental ability to perform.

(3) Upon receipt of fifty percent (50%) of his benefits,

suitable work shall not be limited to his customary or registered

occupation.

(4) If the majority of the weeks of work in an individual's

base period includes part-time work, the individual shall not be

denied unemployment benefits under any provisions of this act

relating to availability for work, active search for work, or

failure to accept work, solely because the individual is seeking

only part-time work. The phrase "seeking only part-time work", as

used in this subsection, means the individual claiming unemployment

benefits is available for a number of hours per week that are

comparable to the individual’s part-time work experience in the base

period.
