Reemployment Services & Eligibility Assessment Program
If you are collecting unemployment insurance, you may be selected to participate in the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program. The U.S. Department of Labor funds the RESEA and helps certain unemployment insurance claimants return to work faster.
If selected, you will be asked to attend an initial RESEA review and meet one-on-one with a reemployment specialist. You must also meet certain RESEA program requirements, such as completing a Career Action Plan, conducting labor market research, tracking work search activities, creating or providing a resume, and participating in ongoing reemployment services.
The initial review explains all program requirements. Failure to comply with the RESEA program requirements will result in a delay or loss of unemployment benefits.
