c. Describe the State’s strategy for providing reemployment assistance to UI claimants and other unemployed individuals
Current Narrative:
The Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment program provides services to claimants selected by the Unemployment Insurance Agency. Selected claimants are those most likely to exhaust their unemployment benefits. Returning veterans who file an Unemployment Compensation for Ex-Service Members claim are also included in this program. One-on-one services are provided to offer a more guided approach to accessing employment and training services in order to assist the claimant in returning to work quickly. The assistance offered include employability workshops, creating a job search plan, providing labor market information, connections to employers through job fairs and the featured “Employer of the Day” event.
These same services are available to all unemployed individuals, free of charge, who access the One-Stop centers, but in a less structured environment.
