VLAD Y. MAKUTOFF VS. BOARD OF
REVIEW, ET AL. A-3444-10T3
Non-immigrant professionals granted
limited work authorization by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the
North American Free Trade Act are not eligible for unemployment benefits
because they are not "available for work" within the meaning of
N.J.S.A. 43:21-4(c). The authorization permits the professional to work only
for an identified employer, and additional approval must be obtained from DHS before
he or she can work for another. See 19 U.S.C.A. §§ 3301- 3473; 8 U.S.C.A. §
1184(e)(2); 8 U.S.C.A. § 1101(a)(15)(H). 07-23-12
