Maryland Work Search Requirements

By filing your initial unemployment insurance claim, you are automatically registered with the public employment office, Maryland Workforce Exchange at mwejobs.maryland.gov

You must also complete and log a minimum of (3) valid reemployment activities per week in the MWE-REX system on the work search verification log.

● Failure to perform and record at least three (3) valid reemployment activities per week will result in a delay or denial of benefit payments, unless exempt from work search.

● The MWE-REX system will automatically retain a permanent record of your valid reemployment activities that you log into the system.

● There are a total of thirty-seven (37) Maryland approved valid reemployment activities that you can select to complete your active search for work each week

You must continue to be available and actively seeking employment if you are working part-time while filing for unemployment insurance benefits. This rule does not apply to an individual who is classified as a “Part-Time Worker.”
