Statutes provide that the elements of a claim for employment security benefits include availability for work. Negating that element was appellant’s request of her employer not to schedule her for work during the COVID pandemic. “[L]imitations on the hours and days the employee is willing to work [divorce claimant] actually and currently from the general labor market.” No statutory policy, nor reasonable fear of COVID, nor reduced wages at other employment, change that result. Appellant’s points are multifarious, but Court of Appeals reviews them nonetheless.
