o The individual is able to work, is available to work, and is actively seeking work in the labor market
o The individual has participated in reemployment services, such as job search assistance services

o The individual has been paid sufficient wages for insured work to qualify for a weekly benefit
o The individual has performed at least 24 hours of service per week, either paid or unpaid, for a nonprofit charitable organization
