Assisting Unemployment Insurance Claimants: The Long-Term Impacts of the Job Search Assistance Demonstration
The Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of 1991 authorized the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL) to conduct the Job Search Assistance (JSA) demonstration to test the feasibility of
implementing job search assistance programs and measure their effectiveness in promoting
rapid re-employment and reduced UI spells among Unemployment Insurance (UI) claimants.
The demonstration was designed to identify UI claimants, at an early point of contact with
the UI system, who were likely to face lengthy UI spells and to provide them with assistance
in finding a new job.
