What is the purpose of RESEA (Re-Employment Services Eligibility Assessment)

RESEA is run by the Maine Dept. of Labor’s Bureau of Unemployment Compensation (BUC) and Bureau of Employment Services (BES), with the objective that claimants:

• Are unemployed for shorter amounts of time
• Experience lower rates of exhaustion of UI benefits during their job search
• Achieve a higher reemployment rate than those who did not receive these services
