In the last 2 weeks, Arkansas & Missouri have reestablished work search requirements for people seeking #unemployment benefits, previously waived bc of COVID-19, even as new cases start to rise.

MO: labor.mo.gov/news/press-rel…

Incidentally, anybody know if there's a state-by-state list of work search requirement waivers and their start/end times?

I guess I'll just start compiling a list as I come across them:

Nebraska today announced they're reimposing work search reqs beginning the week of July 12: dol.nebraska.gov/PressRelease/D…

Colorado has had them reimposed since ~Jun 11 (exact timing unclear): colorado.gov/pacific/cdle/n…

Maine scheduled to end work search req waiver for UI on July 18: maine.gov/labor/news_eve…

Brings total up to 5 states, representing ~4% of U.S. workers receiving UI benefits

North Dakota scheduled to end work search req waiver for UI effective July 26: jobsnd.com/news/burgum-si…

CO: 6/11
AR: 6/28
MO: 7/4
NE: 7/12
ME: 7/18
ND: 7/26

South Dakota to end work search req waiver for UI benefits on Aug 1: dlr.sd.gov/news/releases2…
