Sec. 617.42  Eligibility.

    (a) Conditions. Eligibility for a relocation allowance requires:
    (1) A timely filed application;
    (2) Total separation from adversely affected employment at the time 
relocation commences;
    (3) No prior receipt of a relocation allowance under the same 
certification;
    (4) Relocation within the United States and outside the individual's 
present commuting area;
    (5) Registration with the State agency which shall furnish the 
individual such reemployment services as are appropriate under subpart C 
of this part 617;
    (6) A determination by the State agency that the individual has no 
reasonable expectation of securing suitable employment in the commuting 
area, and has obtained suitable employment affording a reasonable 
expectation of employment of long-term duration, or a bona fide offer of 
such suitable employment, outside the commuting area and in the area of 
intended relocation. For the purposes of this section, the term 
``suitable employment'' means suitable work as defined in Sec. 617.3(kk) 
(1) and (2), whichever is applicable to the individual; and
    (7) Relocation beginning within a reasonable period, as determined 
under Sec. 617.43(b), and completion of such relocation within a 
reasonable period of time as determined in accordance with Federal 
travel regulations and Sec. 617.43(a).
    (b) Job search. Applications for a relocation allowance and a job 
search allowance may not be approved concurrently, but the prior payment 
of a job search allowance shall not otherwise preclude the payment of a 
relocation allowance.
