Each State may use funds made available to the State to carry out sections 221 through 224 to allow an adversely affected worker covered by a certification issued under section 103 to file an application with the Commission for payment of a job search allowance. The Commission may grant an allowance pursuant to an application filed under paragraph
(1)when all of the following apply: The allowance is paid to assist an adversely affected worker who has been totally separated in securing a job within the United States. The Commission determines that the worker cannot reasonably be expected to secure suitable employment in the commuting area in which the worker resides. The worker has filed an application for the allowance with the Commission at such time and containing such information as the Commission may determine. Any allowance granted under subsection
(a)shall provide reimbursement to the worker of not more than 90 percent of the necessary job search expenses of the worker as prescribed by the Commission in regulations. Reimbursement under this subsection may not exceed $1,250 for any worker. Notwithstanding subsection (b), a State may reimburse any adversely affected worker for necessary expenses incurred by the worker in participating in a job search program approved by the Commission.
