d. 3. Administration of the Work Test for the State Unemployment Compensation System, Including Making Eligibility Assessments (for Referral to Ui Adjudication, if Needed), and Providing Job Finding and Placement Services for Ui Claimants; and
Current Narrative:
DWD staff are trained to identify potential UI eligibility issues, including - but not limited to - being able to work, available for work, and actively seeking work. This training includes how to properly document potential UI eligibility issues and how to transmit such documentation to the Division of Employment Security (DES) for adjudication (feedback loop). The Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program leverages this same feedback loop enabling the DWD to advise the DES whether selected claimant(s) reported as directed, participated in the required RESEA services, and if a potential UI eligibility issue was detected.
All UI claimants are required to register with DWD’s website Jobs.mo.gov, Missouri’s premier job matching site for both job seekers and employers. By establishing a profile on job.mo.gov, the UI claimant will be notified when a job is posted that matches their skills and employment interests. Job referrals and placement is also provided when a claimant visits a Missouri Job Center.
