Search Through All NoticesFunds should reach claimants by early next week, but please keep in mind that there is a time frame in getting unemployment assistance delivered electronically and getting checks mailed out. After the agency runs the batch, it is required to ensure it is clean by reconciling and auditing for fraud and accuracy.
“It’s clear that the amount of unemployment benefits is dropping with each batch. It’s a positive indication that people are going back to work as our governor focuses on rebuilding the economy and opening the island back up safely. PUA will be ending soon, on Sept. 4 and this drop is a good sign that claimants are getting serious about finding employment,” said Department of Labor Director David Dell’Isola.
As PUA slows down, work search should see a rise as the requirement to look for jobs in order to remain eligible for PUA and FPUC goes into effect Aug. 1. Starting that week, claimants must perform three work search contacts a week and will need to report those searches with their weekly certifications. A step-by-step video tutorial is available on the agency website at dol.guam.gov, as well as the agency’s YouTube channel, Guam DOL.
