Sumario:The article focuses on how the changes in state administrative policies in processing unemployment insurance (UI) claims could affect the duration of unemployment and the measured total unemployment rate in the U.S. Based on the 2003 National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) survey of all State UI programs, both UI work search requirements and UI reemployment services tend to shorten claimants' duration of insured unemployment by speeding their return to work. The effort of State UI policies and reemployment assistance on the duration of insured unemployment is also discussed.
