Given the number of patrons we help apply for jobs, I thought I’d share this news from Iowa Workforce Development on changes to the requirements for continuing to receive unemployment benefits.
Effective Sunday, January 16, 2022, to maintain eligibility for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, you must:
- register in IowaWORKS(link is external);
- complete at least four valid reemployment activities per week, three of which must be job applications;
- record and certify reemployment activities in the Job Contact and Reemployment Activity Log – see detailed instructions below; and,
- file your weekly application for unemployment benefits.
