California: People must look for work to get jobless aid

Summary by Ground News

California will no longer pay out unemployment to individuals that are not actively seeking new jobs starting early next month. Under normal circumstances, jobless workers were generally required to actively seek out new jobs in order for them to continue to receive unemployment benefits. During the pandemic, the federal government allowed states to waive this requirement as it urged individuals to stay home as businesses shuttered their operations during lockdowns. But California, along with several other states, has ended most of its pandemic restrictions and will begin requiring jobless worker to seek employment as of July 11.
