871—24.6 (96) Profiling for reemployment services.
	 24.6(1) The department of workforce development and the department of economic development will jointly provide a program which consists of profiling claimants and providing reemployment services.
	 24.6(2) Profiling is a systematic procedure used to identify claimants who, because of certain characteristics, are determined to be permanently separated and most likely to exhaust benefits. Such claimants may be referred to reemployment services.
	 24.6(3) Reemployment services may include, but are not limited to, the following:
	  a.   	 An assessment of the claimant’s aptitude, work history, and interest.
	  b.   	 Employment counseling regarding reemployment approaches and plans.
	  c.   	 Job search assistance and job placement services.
	  d.   	 Labor market information.
	  e.   	 Job search workshops or job clubs and referrals to employers.
	  f.   	 Résumé preparation.
	  g.   	 Other similar services.
	 24.6(4) As part of the initial intake procedure, each claimant shall be required to provide the information necessary for profiling and evaluation of the likelihood of needing reemployment assistance.
	 24.6(5) The referral of a claimant and the provision of reemployment services is subject to the availability of funding and limitations of the size of the classes.
	 24.6(6) A claimant shall participate in reemployment services when referred by the department unless the claimant establishes justifiable cause for failure to participate or the claimant has previously completed such training or services. Failure by the claimant to participate without justifiable cause shall disqualify the claimant from the receipt of benefits until the claimant participates in the reemployment services.
	  a.   	 Justifiable cause for failure to participate is an important and significant reason which a reasonable person would consider adequate justification in view of the paramount importance of reemployment to the claimant.
	  b.   	 Reserved.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa code section 96.4(7).
