Work search requirement to be reinstated July 6 for unemployment insurance
The Texas Workforce Commission announced June 16 that the work search requirements for Unemployment Insurance, which had been suspended due to the COVID-19 crisis, will be reinstated for all Texans receiving unemployment insurance benefits July 6.
Work search is a federal requirement to receive unemployment benefits. People will continue to receive benefits, but must document their efforts to find new employment, with the first report due to TWC on July 19.
Keep good records and save your work search documentation. Your work search efforts do not need to be sent in unless it is requested by the Commission.
Texas businesses are hiring right now. There are over 530,000 jobs available in Texas on WorkInTexas.com, the state’s online jobs portal, in addition to jobs available elsewhere. As more and more businesses come back online, those numbers should increase.
