re: Work search requirement for unemployment in Louisiana

It was suspended because of federal requirements. Sorry to tell y’all, but Congress is getting ready to extend federal unemployment by at least $400 a week until the end of the year. There’s over 20 million people unemployed mostly through no fault of their own.

There have almost 400,000 people currently receiving unemployment in Louisiana. I can’t imagine the workforce commission making a million phone calls a week to verify job searches. Unemployment max is only $222 a week after tax. That’s nothing.
