Shared Work Program - For Employees
What do I have to do in order to participate?
The employer manages the Shared Work Program, which means they will need to apply to participate and provide a list of employees who will be affected. Employers should also notify employees that an identity verification will be conducted with the Social Security Administration as part of the employer’s application.
Employees should NOT file a claim for regular unemployment. Doing so will cause a delay in payment.
If you are participating in the Shared Work Plan, you are not required to look for work and are not penalized for refusing job offers from other employers.
What if I work at another job?
An employee may work another job while participating in Shared Work. However, if an employee’s combined hours of work for both employers are equal to or greater than 40 hours of work with the Shared Work participating employer, the employee will not be eligible for Shared Work benefits.
How do I file my unemployment claim or weekly certification when my employer has filed Shared Work?
The employer is responsible for filing your unemployment application or weekly certification on your behalf. The employer certifies the number of hours you worked during the week and if you refused an offer of full-time work with this employer. You do not need to file weekly certifications.
I was sent forms to complete while in Shared Work. Do I need to complete these or does my employer?
You may be sent forms addressing your ability to work, availability for work and moneys you may have received. You should complete and send back any forms we mail you.
