d. 2. Registration of UI claimants with the State’s employment service if required by State law;
Current Narrative:
Per Ark. Code Ann. 11-10-507 and Regulation 14, claimants who file initial, additional or reopened claims for unemployment insurance benefits through ADWS’ EZARC system simultaneously create registrations through the Arkansas Job Link “AJL” system. The filing of an initial, additional or reopened claim for unemployment insurance benefits through ADWS’ EZARC system creates a unique “AJL” registration for all applicants. These registrations are then monitored and utilized by Employment Service staff to provide job finding and placement services.
Claimants who file initial, additional, or reopened claims for unemployment insurance through methods other than ADWS’ EZARC system are required to register for work through the Arkansas JobLink system within the week their claim was filed.
