On March 25, 2020, the governor issued Emergency Proclamation 20-30, which suspended the requirement for individuals claiming unemployment benefits to actively look for work. With the economy recovering, the governor rescinded Proclamation 20-30 effective July 4, 2021. Therefore, the requirement for individuals claiming unemployment benefits is going back into effect beginning July 4, 2021. With the resumption of job search requirements, the employment security department (ESD) hereby rescinds the emergency rule adopted under WSR 20-08-040, effective July 4, 2021.
