According to CNBC, the Labor Department proposed a rule on Monday requiring people claiming unemployment insurance to complete and report at least five qualifying work-search activities each week before receiving benefits. The Trump administration said the proposal is intended to strengthen the program’s integrity and accountability. Michele Evermore of the National Employment Law Project said only four states currently require at least five weekly work-search activities, while the remaining states require fewer. The proposal is open to public comment for 60 days.
