1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, a person is ineligible for benefits for the week in which he has voluntarily left his last or next to last employment:

(a) Without good cause, if so found by the Administrator, and until he earns remuneration in covered employment equal to or exceeding his weekly benefit amount in each of 10 weeks.

(b) To seek other employment and for all subsequent weeks until he secures other employment or until he earns remuneration in covered employment equal to or exceeding his weekly benefit amount in each of 10 weeks, if so found by the Administrator.

2. A person is not ineligible for benefits solely because he left employment which was not suitable to enter training approved pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 2296.

3. As used in subsection 2, employment is “suitable” if the work is of a substantially equal or higher level of skill than the person’s past adversely affected employment, and the wages are not less than 80 percent of his average weekly wage at his past adversely affected employment.
