Related to Job Search: Read Roadmap/ESD site Please Job Search Activities Log

How long should I keep my activities log for? Can ESD ask for it in a year? Two years? What is the statue of limitation?

Hi there. This is literally addressed in one of the faq's in the job search page on the ESD site

Do I need to submit my job search log?

No, but we may request to see it at any time. You must keep it at least 30 days after the end of your benefit year or 30 days after you stop receiving benefits, whichever is later. You don’t need to send it to us unless we request it.

It says 30 days but I am worried they will ask for it later in life…

No, it does not say 30 days, it says

30 days after the end of your benefit year

The vast majority of people's benefit year ends September 4th 2021

So, simple math, means that the last time they could ask for the job search log is October 4th 2021.
