Yes. There are four limitations concerning job search and job readiness.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, an individual's participation in job search and job readiness assistance counts for a maximum of six weeks in any fiscal year.

(b) If the State's total unemployment rate is at least 50 percent greater than the United States' total unemployment rate or if the State meets the definition of a needy State, specified at §260.30 of this chapter, then an individual's participation in job search and job readiness assistance counts for a maximum of 12 weeks in that fiscal year.

(c) An individual's participation in job search and job readiness assistance does not count for a week that immediately follows four consecutive weeks of such participation in a fiscal year.

(d) Not more than once for any individual in a fiscal year, a State may count three or four days of job search and job readiness assistance during a week as a full week of participation.
