[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for People claiming unemployment in Kansas who need to keep a weekly work search record for Kansas Department of Labor (KDOL), and family members helping them stay organized. Not the right fit if You claim unemployment in a state other than Kansas, 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 Kansas work search data file, checked November 2026 against 3 official pages: KDOL: My Reemployment Plan; Kansas Statutes, K.S.A. 44-775; Kansas Department of Commerce (KANSASWORKS): What Constitutes Work Search Activity?. - 5 items the official pages didn't state are left out and put on the kit's look-up list with the agency's page, never guessed. - The Excel summary flags any week with fewer than 3 logged activities, recalculating with zero formula errors. What is inside - **Kansas weekly work search log (Excel).** A log with general columns (Date, Activity, Employer or organization, Address, website or email, How you made contact, Result), since the official pages we checked didn't list required fields, a weekly summary that counts your activities against Kansas's 3 per week and a documents checklist. - **Start here: Kansas filing and work search steps.** The 5 facts Kansas Department of Labor (KDOL)'s pages confirm, each with its source and check date, and a short look-up list of 5 points to check on the agency's page: how to report your work search, where to report, official log form, what to record for each activity, how long to keep records. The weekly requirement, in the agency's words: Three work search activities each week. If you're in RESEA, at least two of them must be a job application (or a résumé where the employer accepts one in place of an application). Activities Kansas counts: registering for work and reemployment services with a Career Center; completing a job application in person or online with employers who may reasonably be expected to have openings; mailing a job application or résumé as instructed in a public job notice; making in-person visits with employers who may reasonably be expected to have openings; interviewing with potential employers in person or by telephone; registering for work with private employment agencies or placement services; using One-Stop Career Center resources such as labor market information, skills assessments, workshops and job referrals; attending job search seminars, career networking meetings, job fairs or employment-related workshops; using online job matching systems, including KANSASWORKS.com; reporting to the union hall, if that is your primary work search method; reviewing job listings on the internet, in newspapers or professional journals, contacting professional associations, or networking. Job bank: KANSASWORKS (registration required). Who may not have to search, per the agency: KDOL may allow participation in an approved training program of at least 25 hours a week in place of the job search requirements (K.S.A. 44-775). - **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 Kansas's application adds. - **Printable weekly work search log.** A paper version of the log, one week per page, for claimants who prefer to write it down.
