c. Describe the State’s Strategy for Providing Reemployment Assistance to Unemployment Insurance Claimants and Other Unemployed Individuals.
Current Narrative:
Reemployment services are available to all UI claimants and other unemployed individuals through PA CareerLink® centers and JobGateway®. Information about reemployment services and instructions for enrollment are printed on the UI claim confirmation letter and in the Pennsylvania Unemployment Compensation Handbook sent to every UI claimant. Pennsylvania implemented formal work search and registration requirements for UI claimants effective January 2012. Pennsylvania UC law requires claimants to register for employment search services with the PA CareerLink® system within 30 days of filing for benefits. Beginning with the third week of the benefit year for which a claimant for compensation is filed and each week thereafter, the claimant must apply for two positions and participate in one work search activity each week and maintain records of their work search efforts.
