d. 1. Coordination of and Provision of Labor Exchange Services for Ui Claimants as Required by the Wagner-peyser Act;
Current Narrative:
In 2013, the Indiana legislature put into effect the Jobs for Hoosiers (JFH) program and further strengthened that legislation in the 2016 session. The State has worked hard to fully connect all UI claimants with the state’s employment services.
Both RESEA and JFH select UI claimants at the fourth week of receiving UI benefits to physically go to an orientation session of the employment services available in one of Indiana’s WorkOne offices. This action directly connects these claimants with the Wagner Peyser system and funding. Additionally, all claimants are required to enter the state’s Wagner Peyser funded labor exchange system, complete an assessment, uploaded a searchable resume as well as look for employment opportunities.
