Description
The Employment and Training Administration is providing funding for the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program. The program aims to reduce the duration of UI benefits by improving employment outcomes for claimants. The funding will be used to provide reemployment services, including career counseling, job search assistance, and eligibility assessments. The program will be implemented by State Workforce Agencies, which will be responsible for selecting claimants to participate in the program, providing reemployment services, and conducting eligibility assessments. The agencies will also be required to track and report on the program's outcomes, including the number of claimants served, the services provided, and the results of the eligibility assessments.
