Del. To Resume Work Search Requirements

Delaware recipients of unemployment benefits will be required to search for work effective June 12th, ending the suspension of the requirement that was in effect during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Delawareans who are unemployed will be required to register with JobLink, which allows them to create or upload a resume. Claimants will be required to complete at least one unique job search a week to remain eligible for unemployment benefits.

“Delawareans are getting vaccinated, and businesses are reopening and expanding hours of service,” Delaware Secretary of Labor Karryl Hubbard said.  “Thousands of jobs are currently available and UI claimants want to get back to work.  JobLink is a key tool for connecting potential employees to employers.”

JobLink contains information about active job openings, information about occupations with the most job opportunities and on-the-job training and apprenticeships.

“With nearly a month to complete the JobLink registration, we are seeking to provide Delawareans ample time to comply with the reinstatement of these requirements,” Director of Unemployment Insurance with DOL Darryl Scott said. “We want to strongly encourage people to start this process now.”
