§ 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.
