Hi Until,

According to the State of Nevada, your husband WOULD have to be actively seeking employment, unless you follow through on the 'exception' listed.

From: http://detr.state.nv.us/ESD%20Pages/...20claim%20.htm

• Able to work—You must be mentally and physically able to work
your normal work week.
EXCEPTION: If you should become physically unable to work
while continuously filing for Unemployment Insurance, you must
advise your Telephone Claim Center promptly to protect your benefits.
You may be eligible to continue to be paid benefits until such
time as you are offered suitable work.
• Available for work—Be ready to go to work. You must be willing
to accept both full-time and part-time work. You must have transportation
and have made necessary child care arrangements. You
cannot have conditions or barriers that prevent you from accepting
work immediately.
• Actively seeking work—To meet availability requirements, you
must make a ‘‘good faith’’ effort to find work. You must use those
methods which a reasonable, prudent person anxious to find work
would use. FAILURE TO CONDUCT AN ADEQUATE WORK
SEARCH CAN RESULT IN A DENIAL OF BENEFITS. To meet
work search requirements, you need to do the following:
(1) You must actively seek work for which you are suited by experience
and/or training. Apply for work in a method that is most likely to
result in employment. Apply to employers who hire people with your
experience and/or training. You must use all means available to find
a job, including your Nevada JobConnect office or the Job Service
office in your area. Make repeat contacts with employers only if you
are encouraged to do so by the employer or if the employer states
there is a chance for a job opening in the near future.



It's fine with SSA if he is collecting unemployment (as in, that wouldn't hurt his claim), but you will want to make sure that you talk to the UE office about this. Sounds like collecting while you are not actively seeking employment is against their rules, unless he gets the exception because of his disability, but you MUST talk to them to get that approved.

Good luck
