Summary:
An individual who is laid off has 3 choices: (1) await recall; (2) seek short-term employment; (3) seek alternate permanent full-time employment. If he chooses (1) instead of (3), he cannot claim benefits except for a short period as determined by the circumstances.
The claimant would apply for full-time employment but he would tell prospective employers that he was expecting a recall. He was in fact making himself available to work only until a recall came. That is restricting oneself to temporary employment.
Jurisprudence indicates that the most prudent course of action may be to rely on a recall. The length of time to be allowed will vary. The 5 months in this case where there is no firm date of recall was generous in the extreme.
