Failure to comply with the work search requirement

Work search activities may be audited at any time.  Failure to provide information could result in a denial of unemployment benefits for that week; claimants may also have to pay back benefits already received.

For Extended Benefits claimants:

Extended Benefit claimants that do not conduct required work search efforts will be ineligible for benefits until:

  • They have again become employed in at least four subsequent weeks; and
  • They have earned wages of at least four times their weekly benefit amount.
