MANY RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO HOOSIERS SEARCHING FOR WORK
On May 11, Gov. Eric Holcomb reinstated work-search activities requiring that unemployment insurance claimants actively seek employment and be available for work. To be eligible for unemployment benefits, claimants must attempt to secure full-time work in each week they claim benefits. That requirement was suspended during the pandemic.
More information about the weekly work searches can be found at: www.in.gov/dwd/indiana-unemployment/individuals/work-search/
With recent changes to the state’s unemployment insurance program, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development is reminding Hoosiers of the many resources available to assist with training and employment opportunities.
