Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA)

The DES Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program assists claimants who are currently receiving Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. Its goal is to help UI claimants overcome barriers and secure a job faster, thereby reducing their dependency on UI benefits. 

All UI claimants may be required to participate in RESEA services. If you are selected, cooperation with RESEA is mandatory to continue receiving UI benefits. Non-compliance with RESEA services may result in the suspension of your UI benefits.

How will I know if I am selected to participate in the RESEA program?

If you are a UI claimant and have been selected to participate in the RESEA Program, you will receive a notice by mail and an email with a calendar invitation that includes your virtual appointment details.

Getting started

If you received a notification that you have been selected to participate in the RESEA program, get started by following these steps:

  1. Log in to Arizona’s largest jobs database, the Arizona Job Connection (AJC) website. As a UI claimant, an account has already been created for you. To log in the first time or reset your password, send an email to the DERS RESEA program.
  2. Next, create or upload your resume into AJC, then

  3. Watch the RESEA Orientation video:
