(2) Computations required by the provisions of
subsection [(a)(5)] (A)(3) shall be made by the Executive
Director, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the
United States Secretary of Labor.

(k) (1) An individual shall be disqualified for
extended benefits for any week of unemployment in his
eligibility period during which he fails to accept any offer
of suitable work or fails to apply for any suitable work to
which he is referred by the Executive Director. Such
disqualification shall thereafter continue until the
individual has been employed during at least 4 weeks which
begin after his failure to apply for or accept suitable work
and has earnings therein equal to at least four times his
weekly extended benefit amount:

(2)  Except as. provided in [subsection] PARAGRAPH
(3), for the purposes of this section "suitable work" means:

(i) The work is within the individual's
capabilities;

(ii) The gross average weekly remuneration
payable for the work exceeds the sum of the individual's
weekly extended benefit amount plus any supplemental
unemployment compensation benefits (as defined in Section
501(c)(17)(d) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code) payable
to the individual for the week;

(iii) The wages for the work are equal to
or exceed the higher of the minimum wage provided by Section
6(a)(1) of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938,
without regard to any exemptions, or any applicable state or
local minimum wage;

(iv) The work is listed with the Division
of Employment Service [and] OR is offered to the individual
in writing, and;

(v) The work is suitable under the
provisions of Section 6(d) to the extent that such
provisions are not inconsistent with the provisions of
[paragraph] PARAGRAPHS (2)(i) through (iv) of this
subsection.

(3)  If the individual furnishes evidence
satisfactory to the Executive Director that his prospects of
obtaining work in his customary occupation within a
reasonably short period are good, the determination of
whether any work is suitable shall be made in accordance
with Section 6(d) rather than in accordance with
[subsection] PARAGRAPH (2) of this [section] SUBSECTION.
