What do I have to do each week to stay eligible for unemployment benefits?
In order to receive payments each week, you must be able to perform work and be available for full time work. This means you must be prepared to start employment immediately and be physically and mentally capable of working. While you may prefer to work remotely, you must be ready and able to accept non-remote work.
You must also:
- Be actively seeking work
- Accept all offers of suitable work
- Be registered for work with a VEC Workforce Center
- Accept any VEC referrals to work
- Report to the VEC when directed to do so
- Report your income from any source
