You must be willing and able to accept a job offer to collect UI unless the schooling is a part of their re-training for a career change program.
Answer 2 :
This can get very tricky. See, there are programs out there that the Labor & Economic Growth have that will pay for you to go to school. The catch is that you have apply for them and go through the proper channels to get it. If you get it, then you can attend college full-time with no penalty or being disqualified to receive your benefits. If you go to school on your own, it comes across as you are NOT seeking employment. Unemployment will want you to NOT go to school if full-time work is offered to you. If you are found out that you declined full-time employment then they can stop your benefits instantly.

Answer 5 :
No,you cannot collect unemployment in any state while attending school full time. The state considers you "not available for work" and you have to look for work while drawing unemployment in a job the same as or similar to your last job. Some states require you to take any job that is offered or lose your benefits for a period of time. Some states will let you decline a job offer under certain conditions without penalty.
Answer 6 :
If you attend GED classes, a college, or a vocational school, you may be able to draw benefits as long as you make yourself fully available for any suitable work, even if it means changing the hours of your classes or quitting school. If you are a regular, full-time student, attending high school, you will be disqualified from receiving benefits until you are no longer attending high school. 9. If you are enrolled in training approved by this Department, you must remain enrolled and make satisfactory progress in completing your approved course of training.
