Wagner-Peyser Act

Colorado law requires claimants to register for work with the State employment service. Connecting Colorado job seekers complete a full registration with Connecting Colorado and record current contact information, work experience and educational credentials, along with skill sets that are most relevant to the work that is sought. Job seekers are required to update the unemployment insurance status fields. These fields alert the Division of Unemployment Insurance of a claimant’s compliance to register for work with Connecting Colorado. Active claimants who are registered in the Connecting Colorado database are required to receive job and event notifications, along with other communications from the Connecting Colorado database and the assigned local workforce area. Initially, all intrastate claimants, who are not job-or union-attached, are assigned five job contacts per week. Workforce Center representatives review the work registration status and determine the appropriate number of job contacts that must be made each week, based on the local labor market and the customer’s specific skill sets. A claimant who does not register in Connecting Colorado within four weeks of filing a claim will stop receiving any eligible unemployment benefit payments until the eligibility issue is resolved.
