In navigating the intricate process of claiming unemployment benefits, tracking one’s search for employment is a crucial step that cannot be overlooked, a requirement that is meticulously outlined by the North Carolina Department of Commerce Division of Employment Security through the NCUI 506E form. This form serves as a testament to an individual's efforts in seeking employment, a fundamental criterion set out under the Employment Security Law, G.S. 96-14.9(E), which mandates claimants to actively pursue work and substantiate their endeavors with a minimum of three employer contacts each week. The form not only demands detailed documentation of these job search activities but also underscores the importance of maintaining such records for an extended period of five years, subjecting the claimant to potential audits by the DES. Its rigor extends to providing specific directions on what constitutes a valid contact, emphasizing the inclusion of a diverse range of contact methods from in-person visits and telephone calls to emails, online submissions, and even fax communications, each demanding its own unique set of details for verification purposes. The essence of the NCUI 506E form reflects a comprehensive approach to ensure that individuals seeking unemployment benefits are earnestly engaged in the labor market, promoting integrity and accountability in the process, and setting a clear expectation for what is considered an adequate and verifiable work search record, thereby guiding claimants through their journey back to employment.

(5)Position seeking
(6)Results
Contacting the same employer regarding the same position or opening more than once during the same week can only count as one employer contact unless you are at different stages of the hiring process. (i.e. interview, second interview).
