Unemployment Insurance Benefits Update

• Update on Work Search Requirements 

  Coming soon, the requirement for claimants to actively search for work in order to receive unemployment benefits will be reinstated. This requirement has been waived since March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  When searching for work is required, claimants who receive unemployment benefits must conduct at least one work search activity for each week you certify for benefits. Your benefits will not be paid until your work search activities have been reported. Continue to check the website for more information in the coming weeks.
