Those receiving benefits are required to log on twice a week to search for work.

The Nebraska Department of Labor has done away with its automated phone system, opting now to field claims online.

Commissioner Catherine Lang says this could improve your chances of finding work. "Moving to the website, we are constantly exposing them to our NE Work System, commonly referred to as a public labor exchange," says Lang.

Those receiving benefits are required to log on twice a week to search for work, allowing the agency to check if that was done. To file claims, log on to www.dol.nebraska.gov.
