Unemployment Insurance Claimant Guide - Job Service North Dakota

Basic Eligibility Requirements:
Eligibility Review
Reemployment Services
3. Click on the Eligibility Review link on the My To Do List calendar.
4. The first time you do an Eligibility Review, you need to complete an online orientation. The orientation will
provide you with information concerning the requirements of the Unemployment Insurance program and
services available to help you return to work. After you complete your orientation, check the box verifying
that you have completed the entire orientation.
5. You will answer a series of questions to determine if you meet the requirements to receive benefits and will
be required to enter job contacts for the review period. If you have entered job contacts during the weeks
you have certified, you will be able to view these contacts. Carefully check that the dates of your job
contacts match the review period dates.
6. If you are late completing our Eligibility Review, you may not receive payment for the week(s) you are late. If
you are unable to complete your Eligibility Review prior to the due date, contact the Claims Center. Job
Service North Dakota will consider your reasons for failing to complete your Eligibility Review within the
required timeframe and determine whether you have good cause.
7. When you have completed the Eligibility Review, print a copy of the Confirmation Page and follow up on any
requirements listed on the page.
After completing your first eligibility review, you will receive periodic notices from Job Service letting you know when
additional eligibility reviews are due. You need to complete assigned Eligibility Reviews for the weeks that you have
received benefits, even if you returned or are returning to work.
When entering your job contacts, you will need to note the date of the job contact, the type of work you applied for, the
name of the employer, and either the address and phone number of the employer or the website if you completed an
online application. If you do not know the phone number, you can use 000-000-0000. A good practice is to keep a list of
all your job contacts on the Job Contact Record forms beginning on page 30 of this guide. Remember that you cannot
count a job contact for the same position more than once.
Basic Eligibility Requirement: Reemployment Services
If you are not returning to the employer that laid you off and/or if you are required to search for work and make job
contacts, you may receive a notification from Job Service that you have been selected to complete online reemployment
services. The letter outlines the date the first service is due. Reemployment services may include reading or viewing
information about topics such as Coping with Job Loss, Job Seeking and Creating Cover Letters and Resumes. To view
your reemployment services, you will need to log into the UI ICE system on www.jobsnd.com (see pages 9-11 for details
on how to access UI ICE) and click on My To Do List. The services will display the date they are due. When you click
on your reemployment service, a list of the other reemployment services you must complete will be displayed on your
Reemployment Services Schedule on UI ICE. You can complete the services at any time prior to the due dates but must
complete each reemployment service by the due date assigned. The sooner you complete your services, the better
prepared you will be for your job search.
