Why does a claimant have to register with the local unemployment office?
All claimants who file an unemployment claim must register for work, which is one method of indicating the claimant is able and available for work. In many cases, this registration is done automatically. However, in other cases, further information is needed, at which time the claimant is provided notice requiring him or her to complete the registration process within a certain time period. If a claimant moves out of state, they MUST register in that state, with or without prompting by the Department of Labor. A list of other state Resource Center offices is provided. Bottom line is, any time a claimant is not appropriate registered for work, they fail to meet one of the eligibility requirements and will be denied benefits.
