RESEA, also known as the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment, is a program designed to help individuals receiving Reemployment Assistance benefits become employed as quickly as possible. Selected participants will have the opportunity to work with a career consultant for reemployment services as they transition to employment.

By participating in the RESEA program, you increase your chances of finding employment before your unemployment benefits expire. Failure to participate in the RESEA program may result in delays or the stoppage of your unemployment benefits. Appointments are virtual, but accommodations are available for in-person services at either of our CareerSource Palm Beach County career center locations.

During your appointment with a career consultant, you will receive one-on-one career assistance and access to current labor market information (LMI). You will also receive assistance in creating a formalized reemployment plan. RESEA staff will review your work search activities and provide you with information on relevant workshops such as interviewing tips and resume building. The career consultant will also provide information on the following programs and resources that may be available to you.
