Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA)
The Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) program is a grant program for states to assist individuals receiving unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. The funds are used to connect participants with in-person assessments and reemployment services through American Job Centers. CLEAR reviews causal studies of RESEA interventions under the Reemployment topic area and each study is given a causal evidence rating of high, moderate, or low. The causal evidence is then also reviewed at the intervention level—looking across all studies of an intervention or intervention component. The intervention effectiveness ratings are high, moderate, potentially promising, or no evidence. At this time, five types of interventions have been rated. Below, you can see the current intervention evidence ratings for each category of intervention. Expand the intervention category to see summaries of relevant research on each of these interventions.
