Weekly Work Search Notice

UCB-12

Beginning immediately, you must search for work in each week you want to be paid

unemployment benefits.

Contact at least two employers per week who hire people with your skills or might have other work

you can do.

Follow the guidelines below when making your work search:

In person contacts are preferred. Telephone or mail contacts are acceptable only if

the employer cannot be contacted in person or this is the customary method of applying

for this type of work.

Registration with a public or private placement agency is an acceptable contact only on

the first visit to that agency or when you are asked to return by the agency.

If during a week you attend an employment workshop which offers instruction to improve

your skills toward finding and obtaining work, report the name and telephone number of

the organization sponsoring the workshop, the location of the workshop, the name of the

workshop leader and the date(s) you attended on your work search record. This is

acceptable work search activity and counts as an employer contact.

Repeat contacts are not acceptable unless you are asked by the employer to come back.

Your local Job Center receives job opening information from employers that is updated on a daily

basis. You are encouraged to make frequent visits to the Job Center where you can view, select and

apply for job openings for which you are qualified and take advantage of the services that can help you

in your job search. For the address of the Job Center closest to your home, call 1-888-258-9966.

Please note that viewing job leads at the Job Center or looking at the newspaper want-ads DOES NOT

count as a work search by itself. You must contact an employer in person, by mail or by telephone.

Keep a record of your weekly work search activity on the back of this notice. When you run

out of space, you can print additional pages of the work search report form from the Internet at

If you do not have access to the Internet, you can keep

your work search record on a separate piece of paper. Be sure to include all of the required

information. Do not mail in this form unless you are asked to do so.

The Department may request evidence of your work search at any time during your claim. You will be

expected to show evidence of your work search activities for the eight weeks prior to the date of that

request.

The law provides penalties for false statements about your work search activities.

If you have any questions about your work search, refer to the Handbook for Claimants or call a Claims

Specialist.
