I just started on the Federal/State Extended Benefits (EB) program which can go up to 13 weeks, but from my understanding it is expected to cease sometime in March. I was hoping for some clarification regarding work searches and if they differ from the process when on EUC.
Under EB am I now required to submit weekly searches by paper form/online, or only upon request and maintain the records on my own? On my paper about EB it says, "you will be required to submit your work search log on a regular basis" but I was unsure if "regular" was to imply weekly when I file my claim, or if this would still be "upon request".
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help clarify for me.
"Upon request" does not apply to EB. Work search form submission is mandatory for EB. You must submit work searches to the UE office each time you claim in order to be paid EB. If your state provides online work search forms along with your weeklybiweekly online filing, do it that way. Mailing forms in will confuse your claim, especially if you claim online. Keep it all together.
If you are claiming by mail, submit work searches with the claim forms you mail in. If you claim online, complete the attached form. WI always had the work search form as part of the online claim and would NOT accept the claim if the work search form was incomplete.
