Required Number of Work Search Activities by County

If you request unemployment benefits, you must search for work. You must make a minimum number of work search activities in every week for which you request payment.

Your Workforce Development Board determines the minimum number of work search activities required. This number is based on labor market conditions in your area. Thus, the required number of activities varies by county. This number may change as employment conditions change.

When you apply for unemployment benefits we mail you a letter with the required number of work search activities you need to make each week. This letter also tells you the date the work search requirement becomes effective. You should rely on the letter TWC sends for your number of required work search activities, rather than this list.

You can record your work search activities on the Work Search Log (En Español).
