You don't have to look for work in order to get jobless benefits, state announces

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In order to collect unemployment benefits, you usually have to show that you’re looking for work.

But not anymore.

The state Employment Security Department announced Tuesday that the job search requirement has been made optional. It also is retroactive to March 8 and will “continue until further notice.”

“Waiving the job search requirement helps make it easier for people to use the benefit,” Employment Security Commissioner Suzi LeVine said in a statement.
