Work Seeking Activities
I am a member in good standing with a union that does not allow me to seek non-union work within my trade. I have stayed in
contact with my union, and I am on the out-of-work list. I have been capable of accepting and reporting for work if dispatched
by my union. I understand false answers may result in overpaid benefits and additional penalties I must pay back.
Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation Application FORM 359PEUC (Page 3 of 3)
I am temporarily unemployed because I have been laid off or had my hours reduced and expect to return to work with my
employer. I am returning to work that is full-time or work that pays more than my weekly benefit amount. There are no more
than four (4) weeks between the week I became temporarily unemployed and the week I am returning to work. I have stayed in
contact with my employer. I understand false answers may result in overpaid benefits and additional penalties I must pay back.
If you need to catch up on prior weeks, please see our COVID-19 web page for a copy of the weekly certification form.
PAYMENT INFORMATION
Payments are issued onto a US Bank Visa Reliacard or direct deposited to your account. The same method of payment will be used for future
payments that was used for prior weeks paid to you on your claim.
Do you still have your active Reliacard?
YES NO
If you were receiving direct deposit, do you wish for your payments to be deposited into your account?
YES NO
If you answered “NO” to either question, you will be issued a new Reliacard.

form with a voided check.
MISREPRESENTATION
