Synthesis Report: Reemployment Synthesis
Topic Area: Reemployment
Findings:
The majority of reemployment interventions reduced weeks of benefit receipt and amount of benefits paid.
The reemployment interventions had varying degrees of effectiveness.
The Reemployment and Eligibility Assistance (REA) program boosted short-and long-term employment and earnings.
Job search assistance (JSA) services had favorable impacts on all outcomes examined, but employment and earnings impacts varied over time.
Reemployment bonuses appear to work in the short term, but their long-term effects are not known.
Lighter-touch interventions, such as profiling and changing employer contact requirements,yield more limited benefits.
