822 - Authorization and standards for allowances.

 
    §  822. Authorization and standards for allowances.  The commissioner,
  in accordance with standards established by him, may  pay  to  a  person
  enrolled  in  such  courses,  training,  subsistence, and transportation
  allowances. In setting standards for:
    1. training allowances, the commissioner shall consider  the  relative
  needs  of  the  trainees,  wages earned by them, and benefits payable to
  them under the general provisions of article eighteen of  this  chapter,
  provided,  however, that no training allowance shall exceed by more than
  ten dollars the average statewide gross benefit rate under such  article
  for   a   week   of   total   unemployment   during   the   most  recent
  four-calendar-quarter  period  for  which  such  data   are   available,
  augmented  by  five  dollars  a week for each dependent over two up to a
  maximum of four additional dependents.
    2. subsistence allowances, the commissioner shall consider the cost to
  the trainees of living away from their normal residences where  this  is
  necessitated  by  the  location  and  nature of the training facilities,
  provided, however, that no such allowance shall exceed  five  dollars  a
  day.
    3. transportation allowances, the commissioner shall consider the cost
  to  the  trainees  of commuting and long-distance travel necessitated by
  the nature and location of the training facilities.
