Log your job contacts. Keep your benefits.
To keep getting unemployment, most states make you contact a set number of employers every week, and they can ask to see your list. myjobcontacts keeps every contact in one place, shows how many you still need this week, and prints a clean log when you need one.

How it works
Pick your state
We fill in your weekly number and which days count as a week. Your notice says something different? Change it.
Add each contact
Employer, job, how you reached them, and what happened. About 20 seconds. Add a screenshot of the application as proof.
Copy it or print it
Copy each detail into your state’s site when you request payment, or download a PDF log by week if they ask to see it.
What changed in 2026
Several states now ask for more job contacts each week. If you filed a while ago, check your latest notice.
- Arkansas: Since January 1, 2026, you must enter all 5 work search activities on your weekly certification (Act 708).
- Louisiana: Raised from 3 to 5 work search activities a week for claims filed on or after January 4, 2026 (Act 151).
- Michigan: Raised from 1 to 3 work search activities a week starting July 19, 2026.
- Texas: Raised from 3 to 5 work search activities a week in most counties (TWC rule change effective August 10, 2026).
Your list stays yours
There’s no account to make. Your job contacts and screenshots are saved on your phone, in your browser, and nothing is sent to your state or to us. Save a backup file whenever you like. We never sell anything and there are no ads.

Questions
Is this a government website?
No. myjobcontacts is a free, independent tool. It doesn’t file anything with your state or send your contacts anywhere. You still request payment and report your job contacts the way your state tells you to. myjobcontacts helps you keep track and have proof ready.
How many job searches do I need for unemployment?
It depends on your state. Most ask for 2 to 5 job contacts or work search activities a week, and a few set no number. See every state. Your claim notice has your exact number.
Does it send my job contacts to my state?
No. In states where you type your contacts in when you request payment, the app has a Copy screen so you can paste each detail in. In states where you keep your own log, it keeps it for you and prints it if you’re asked.
What if my state audits my work search?
Open the app, pick the weeks they ask about, and download the PDF log. Where we know your state’s form, the PDF uses the same columns. Proof screenshots can go in too.
Where is my information stored?
On your phone, inside your browser. There is no account. You can save a backup file any time and load it on a new phone.
Does it cost anything?
No. It’s free, with no ads and no upsell.
