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:
The State administers the unemployment insurance work test as required. Claimants who fail to participate or report to suitable opportunities are held ineligible until issues are resolved. The UI management information system identifies potential eligibility issues by the claimant’s responses to weekly certification questions and by assessing the data entered by staff during eligibility assessments. Any job referral made is reconciled either by claimant or the employer or both. The management information system (MACC) generates a follow—up form to the employer every 15 days. When returned, the results are populated to the UI system and a stop placed on payments of claimants who failed to report.
