My Reemployment Plan
FINDING EMPLOYMENT IN TODAY'S JOB MARKET
Recognizing that how people find work in today’s labor market is very different from how it was done in past decades, many states are re-thinking their unemployment insurance (UI) work search polices to expand the scope of actions that meet their requirements. To assist with this effort, a group of state workforce system leaders, in collaboration with representatives from the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) and national and regional Employment and Training Administration (ETA) staff, came together to develop the Pathway to Reemployment Framework. This framework consists of a set of resources (“toolkit”) that provides state policymakers and other stakeholders with a “re-envisioned” approach to work search for unemployment insurance claimants, and a set of strategies and behavioral insights related to UI work search requirements that states may elect to adopt. The My Reemployment Plan (MRP) is part of this resource toolkit. States who elect to adopt it may customize the content according to their workforce system policies, state unemployment insurance laws, and regulations.
