PART II CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS
2.8  ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
2.8.4	Actively Seeking Work. A claimant must make a systematic and sustained effort to actively seek suitable work unless otherwise relieved of this requirement when he or she is participating in approved training, is job attached, has a qualifying job separation as a surviving military spouse, or has limited job opportunities pursuant to articles 70 to 82 of title 8, C.R.S., or the regulations. A claimant who limits his or her work search solely to positions that are not available in the labor-market area or to positions for which he or she is not reasonably qualified shall not be considered actively seeking suitable work.
.10 	Qualifying Job Separation as a Surviving Military Spouse. The division shall waive the requirement to actively seek work for a claimant who relocates to a new place of residence because of the death of a spouse in combat, provided that the claimant is available for suitable work and that the individual claimant’s spouse at the time of death had been a member of the United States Armed Forces on active duty as defined in 10 U.S.C. Sec. 101(d)(1), active guard and reserve duty as defined in 10 U.S.C. Sec. 101 (d)(6), or title 10 or 32 of the United States Code.
