[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for People claiming unemployment in Kentucky who need to keep a weekly work search record for Kentucky Office of Unemployment Insurance (Kentucky Career Center), and family members helping them stay organized. Not the right fit if You claim unemployment in a state other than Kentucky, 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 Kentucky work search data file, checked November 2026 against 4 official pages: Kentucky Claimant Guide, PAM-UI-400 (Rev. 02/26); Kentucky Career Center: Work search requirements; Kentucky Office of Unemployment Insurance: Understanding Unemployment Insurance in Kentucky. - Every item in the checklist is confirmed on an official page and linked to it. - The Excel summary flags any week with fewer than 5 logged activities, recalculating with zero formula errors. What is inside - **Kentucky weekly work search log (Excel).** A log with the columns Kentucky Office of Unemployment Insurance (Kentucky Career Center) asks for (Date, Activity, Employer or organization, Person contacted, Their title, How you made contact, Address, website or email, Phone, Job title or type of work, Result), a weekly summary that counts your activities against Kentucky's 5 per week and a documents checklist. - **Start here: Kentucky filing and work search steps.** The 9 facts Kentucky Office of Unemployment Insurance (Kentucky Career Center)'s pages confirm, each with its source and check date.
