The Texas Workforce Commission
Work Search Log

Unemployment Insurance (UI) rules require that you actively search for work, making at least your minimum number of required contacts every week. After receiving eight weeks of benefits, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) requires you to reduce your salary demands and expand your job search. All information you give to TWC must be true and accurate. You must repay benefits if you fail to make your assigned minimum number of work search activities in any week. Intentional false statements about work search activities could be fraud and can result in loss of benefits and criminal prosecution.

TWC reserves the right to verify your activities. You may be asked to produce your work search activity records any time during your benefit year. Document your activities by including specific details, especially telephone numbers with area codes whenever available. Every activity must include the date, details that document the type of activity and complete supporting information, such as telephone numbers. (See Guidelines for a Productive Work Search for examples of acceptable activities.) Keep the log current. Make as many copies as you need.

The Work Search Log is available as a PDF file.

Keep this form for your records. Send a copy to TWC only if requested, using the address or fax number we give you.
