Do I Need To Make A Work Search?

When you filed your initial or renewed claim, you were given the minimum number of employers to contact for work each week. Make at least that many contacts. Keep a written record of the employers you contact each week for work for auditing purposes. Your work search is subject to verification. A Work Search Record form is available for your use and you may print a copy of this form by going to our Internet site at: http://www.dolir.mo.gov/es/ui-benefits/4541-AI.pdf

You will also be sent a Work Search Record for use in recording your job contacts. It will be included in the mailing notifying you it is time to report to a Missouri Career Center. Do not wait to receive this form to start making and recording job contacts. Do not mail your work search to the Division of Employment Security or take it when reporting to a Career Center unless requested to do so. If an eligibility review or audit is conducted, you will be contacted and asked to furnish your work search.

Failure to apply or accept suitable employment offered through the Division, designated staff of a state or state-controlled public employment office, or former employer may result in denial of benefits.
