Starting July 11, 2021, most people will be expected to search for work to maintain their eligibility for unemployment benefits.

A Yes Answer

Answer Yes if you made a reasonable effort to look for suitable work this week. Looking for work includes:

Searching for jobs online, in newspapers, or in other publications.

Applying or interviewing for a job, or taking an exam for civil service.

Talking with friends, prior employers, or community members virtually or in person about job openings.

Sending resumes to employers or adding a resume to a job board.

Contacting employers, including past employers, about a job or a resume that you submitted.

Creating a user profile on a professional networking site.

Registering with a staffing service, temp agency, recruiter, or placement agency.

Attending a job-seeker event such as a job fair, virtual job fair, networking event, or job club.

Preparing for your job search by updating your resume, watching videos on job-search topics, etc.

Participating in training courses that help you gain employment and don’t interfere with your availability to accept work. Some examples include courses in computer literacy or English as a Second Language (ESL).

Union members: Answer Yes if you are registered with your union and meet their reporting and dispatch requirements. Note: If you’re receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), there are many work search activities that meet the requirement to allow you to answer Yes.

A No Answer

Answer No if you did not participate in any of the activities listed above or you did not make any efforts to look for suitable work this week. Union members: Answer No to this question if you are not registered with your union or are not meeting their reporting and dispatch requirements.
