Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) — Starting this week, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) will begin sending out Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program notifications to selected, regular Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants regarding job search and training opportunities.
The RESEA program is a federally funded program that must be reinstated on March 29, 2021.
Following the restoration of RESEA services, DETR will be bringing back the work search requirement to seek, apply for, and accept suitable employment. Starting May 1, 2021, all claimants filing for UI benefits will be required to search for suitable employment and keep a record of the businesses or individuals they contact for employment.
Claimants must conduct several work search activities each week using methods customary to the occupation that they’re seeking. These work search activities will be required to remain eligible for UI payments.
“As Nevadans are vaccinated and COVID cases continue to drop, DETR is focusing on getting Nevadans back to work, whether they return to their pre-pandemic job or get training for a new job. This is the next step in connecting with and helping claimants where we can,” said DETR director, Elisa Cafferata
