Colorado Unemployment Job Search Requirements
You must make a continued and organized effort to seek work. A workforce center will assign you a number of contacts you must make each week.
You must keep a list of these efforts; CDLE (Colorado Department of Labor and Employment) may request proof at any time up to two years after your benefit-year end date. You may find work-search log sample on www.coloradoui.gov.
For every job contact you must keep a verifiable list of:
- What action you took
- The method by which you applied for a job
- The type of work you were looking for
- The person you contacted, a telephone number, email address or other reliable contact information
- The outcome of the contact
CDLE may conduct an audit of your claim at any time. You may be asked to provide your work-search log. If you are unable to produce the log with all requirements, you may be denied benefits.
I am 61 years old, I am a former Preschool Teacher/Director and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, rheumatroid arthritis and my bone density has been decreasing the last two years. I was recently let go of a job after a 14 months due to lack of funding and did not know if I can apply for disability with my diagnoses. I have started the process of my unemployment and heard from a friend that I should try and collect disability. I do need some expertize on this.
Theresa,
Please note UI benefits are only offered to those who become unemployed due to involuntary reasons. I am not sure if you can claim. Please reach out to the authorities for more.
One of the sites I look for work is Craigslist. Resume is sent to a Craigslist email address, and most times company info is not given. Does this count for a “job contact” as required?
Please route this query to the labor dept in your state.
They will be able to advice you.
I need a work-search sample!!!!!!!!!!
