2.8.4	Actively Seeking Work. In general, a claimant shall be considered to be actively seeking work if he or she is following a course of action reasonably designed to result in prompt reemployment in suitable work. Failure to establish to the satisfaction of the Division that the work-search activities in which the claimant engages are reasonably designed to result in prompt reemployment may result in a disallowance of benefits.

.1	Evidence Of Work Search. A claimant shall, upon request by the Division, provide verifiable information of his or her work-search activities. Such activities may include, but are not limited to:

1.	Applying for a job for which the claimant is reasonably qualified.
2.	Interviewing for a job for which the claimant is reasonably qualified.
3.	Taking an exam required as part of the application process for a new job for which the claimant is reasonably qualified.
4.	Contacting an employer, who the claimant reasonably believes may have available suitable work, to inquire as to whether the employer is hiring.
5.	Being referred to a job by a state workforce center or other entity which provides similar services.
6.	Adding a resume to an online job board.
7.	Engaging in documented use of online career tools.
8.	Participation in reemployment services at a state workforce center or other location where such similar services are provided.
9.	Participation in state-sponsored or other professional job-related education or skills development.
10.	Creating a user profile on a professional networking website.
11.	Participating in networking events related to a job or occupation for which the claimant is reasonably qualified.
12.	Timely reporting to a union hiring hall when you are a registered member of that union.

.2	Number of Work-Search Activities. The acceptable number of work-search activities that the claimant engages in each week shall be determined by the Division or the Division’s designee.
.3	Reasonably Designed to Result in Prompt Reemployment. In determining the adequacy of an individual’s work-search activities, the Division shall consider the totality of the efforts made by the claimant to become reemployed. In addition, the Division, or the Division’s designee shall consider, but not be limited to, the employment opportunities in the claimant’s labor market area, the skills and qualifications of the claimant, and the normal practices and customary methods for obtaining work.

.4 	Warning Letter. The Director or the Director’s designee, at his or her discretion, may elect to issue a warning letter to any claimant who has failed to meet the work-search requirements. This authority shall, in no way, limit the authority of the Division to issue a disallowance of benefits when it is determined that a claimant has not met the work-search requirements. If a claimant has been issued a warning letter for failing to meet the work-search requirements and is again determined to have failed to meet the requirements, another warning letter shall not be issued. Instead, a disallowance of benefits shall be issued for the weeks in which a second and any subsequent failure occurred unless the circumstances of that failure were outside the claimant’s control. 
.1	Penalties. If a claimant is issued a warning letter, pursuant to this section, it shall be considered in determining whether a claimant made a false representation or willfully failed to disclose a material fact for the purpose of determining whether monetary or weekly penalties should be imposed pursuant to 8-81-101 (4)(a)(II), C.R.S.

.5	Verifiable Information. Verifiable information, as used in section 2.8.4.1, is the date an activity is completed and may include:
1.	Employer contact information, including business name, address, phone number, email address
2.	Name and title of person contacted
3.	Documentation of use of an online career tool 
4.	Confirmation of an online job board submission
5.	Networking event name and location
6.	Specifics of job-related education or other skills development activity
7.	Reemployment service in which you participated
.6	Seasonal Worker. A claimant who is seasonally employed is not relieved of the responsibility to engage in work-search activities.
.7	Incarcerated Worker. A claimant who is incarcerated and who is unable to seek work is not actively seeking work.
.8	Limited Job Opportunities. If, due to economic conditions within the labor-market area, the division determines that any effort to search for work would be fruitless for the claimant and burdensome to employers, then registering for work as directed by the division shall constitute an active search for work.
.9	Part-Time Worker. Whether a part-time worker is actively seeking work shall be determined in accordance with regulation 2.2.
.10	Self-Employment. Whether an individual engaged in self-employment activities is actively seeking work shall be determined in accordance with regulation 2.5.
.11	Qualifying Job Separation as a Surviving Military Spouse. The division shall waive the requirement to actively seek work for a claimant who relocates to a new place of residence because of the death of a spouse in combat, provided that the claimant is available for suitable work and that the individual claimant’s spouse at the time of death had been a member of the United States Armed Forces on active duty as defined in 10 U.S.C. Sec. 101(d)(1), active guard and reserve duty as defined in 10 U.S.C. Sec. 101 (d)(6), or title 10 or 32 of the United States Code. This waiver shall be effective for a period of four weeks beginning in the week in which the claimant relocates to the new place of residence. This period may be extended if the claimant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the division that a compelling reason for such an extension exists. Thereafter, the claimant shall be required to actively seek work in accordance with this part ii.
