Kentucky Unemployment Job Search Requirements
Kentucky unemployment benefits are only for those who are unemployed but actively seeking work. You are required to look for work the entire time you collect benefits without limiting your search to one source. Keep accurate records of your job search. The OET (Office of Employment and Training) performs random audits of unemployment accounts and may ask you present your job search records as proof of your search. If you cannot provide details of your job search, the OET can deny your benefits.
Cam a contract worker with school apply for unemployment if contract isn’t being renewed?
Contract workers cannot generally claim since employers don’t pay unemployment taxes into the system. Please check with your employer if they did.

Depends on the context. If it is related to work, you may find relief, not for personal reasons.
