Who it is for

People claiming unemployment in Georgia who need to keep a weekly work search record for Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL), and family members helping them stay organized.

Not the right fit if

You claim unemployment in a state other than Georgia, or you need help with a denied claim or an appeal: this organizes the weekly work search record and doesn't advise on eligibility.

Why it is different

- Built only from our Georgia work search data file, checked November 2026 against 3 official pages: GDOL: Learn about work search requirements; GDOL: UI weekly work search requirements, frequently asked questions; GDOL: Unemployment Insurance Claimant Handbook.
- Every item in the checklist is confirmed on an official page and linked to it.
- The Excel summary flags any week with fewer than 3 logged activities, recalculating with zero formula errors.

What is inside

- **Georgia weekly work search log (Excel).** A log with the columns Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) asks for (Date, Employer or organization, Job or reference number, Person contacted, Address, website or email, Phone, Job title or type of work, How you made contact, Result), a weekly summary that counts your activities against Georgia's 3 per week and a documents checklist.
- **Start here: Georgia filing and work search steps.** The 10 facts Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL)'s pages confirm, each with its source and check date. The weekly requirement, in the agency's words: At least 3 new reportable job contacts each week, with employers you haven't contacted before. How to report: Submit your weekly work search records online through GDOL's Submit Weekly Work Search portal. Fax Form DOL-2798 only if you have no internet access. Activities Georgia counts: employer contacts in person; employer contacts by telephone; online applications; Résumés faxed, mailed or emailed. Records: Document all work search activities and keep track of them for your weekly work search record; GDOL may audit your record at any time. The handbook doesn't give a period. Job bank: WorkSource Georgia (registration required). Who may not have to search, per the agency: claimant trainees don't report work search while in classes; once classes end, they report three new, verifiable contacts each week; claimants exempt under the Georgia Employment Security Law (if your status changes, the requirements apply).
- **Documents to gather.** A checklist of the papers a claim usually asks for (IDs, employer names and dates, pay records, separation papers), with space for anything Georgia's application adds.
- **Printable weekly work search log.** A paper version of the log with Georgia's columns, one week per page, for claimants who prefer to write it down.

Questions

## Common questions

**What's in the download?**

An Excel weekly work search log for Georgia and three Word documents with matching PDFs: a start-here checklist of Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL)'s work search rules, a documents-to-gather checklist and a printable weekly log. You get a download link by email after payment.

**How many work search activities does Georgia require each week?**

At least 3 new reportable job contacts each week, with employers you haven't contacted before. That is in the data file we checked November 2026 against Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL)'s own pages; your notices from the agency come first.

**How do I report my work search in Georgia?**

Submit your weekly work search records online through GDOL's Submit Weekly Work Search portal. Fax Form DOL-2798 only if you have no internet access. The agency's page: https://www.dol.state.ga.us/public/uiben/customer/login.

**What if the agency's pages don't say something?**

Anything Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL)'s pages didn't state when we checked is left out of the kit's facts and put on a short "Look up before you file" list, with the agency's page to check, never guessed. In this kit that is: official list of activities, how long to keep records, job bank registration, how the week is counted.

**Is this legal or benefits advice?**

No. It's general information and an organizer. Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) decides whether your work search meets its rules. MCC Solutions isn't affiliated with any state agency.
