Key legal question
Whether the appellant was unsuitable for placement within unemployment insurance law.
Extracted holding
The appellant was not shown to be unsuitable for placement on the basis of the same conduct that had already been sanctioned by suspensions.
Extracted reasoning
Insufficient job search and refusal of a temporary-work assignment normally justify suspension of benefits under Art. 30 LACI. A finding of unfitness for placement requires exceptional circumstances or new conduct showing that the insured no longer wants or can accept suitable employment. Here, the authority relied on the same facts already known when the suspensions were imposed, and no additional reproachable behavior was established.
