Executive Director's Message
We are very honored and privileged to serve those who served in the U.S. Armed Services as well as the family members of these deserving individuals. We have an obligation to remind our fellow citizens that freedom is not free. It came at a price paid with blood and sacrifice by American veterans like you. We strongly support a collaborative state-wide partnership that includes local, state, and federal governmental offices and private organizations to connect with all veterans, families, and survivors across the state and meet their needs through a broad range of services and assistance. Additionally, we are committed to provide quality customer service in a professional and compassionate manner. As President Theodore Roosevelt stated in 1903, "A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards." Thomas P. Palladino

Our Mission:

Empowerment through technology.

Our Vision:

A world without digital barriers.

"For many, the Internet has become the way they get to touch computers for the first time. They want or need e-mail to keep in touch with friends and family, to do some kind of research or because they desperately want to improve their job skills but don't know where to take affordable classes introducing them to computers' existing and emerging technologies. ...When people see our logo, they will recognize that it is a place where they can access the Internet in a friendly environment."

- Ana Sisnett, Co-Founder of Austin Free-Net, Writer, Author and Community Activist, 2001

The Digital Divide

The digital divide is a term that describes the disparity between those who are able to access and use technology and those who are not.

Digital Equity is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, communication and access to essential services.

We have been providing access to devices, internet and digital literacy training to the community for over 26 years and counting.

Work Search Requirements for Unemployment Benefits

# data[].attributes.subject
Work Search Requirements for Unemployment Benefits

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You must document at least your minimum number of required activities every week. However, we recommend that you document all your work search efforts every week that you are receiving benefits. For unemployment purposes, a week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.

Common Mistake:
Not keeping good records of all of your work search activities. Write down the specific details each week. You can lose benefits if we request your log for a prior week(s) and you cannot provide it or it does not include required information.

We may request your work search log for any week or number of weeks at any time during your benefit year. Keep all your work search logs for your entire benefit year, or for as long as you are receiving unemployment benefits, whichever is longer. If you are selected to submit your log, we send a notice to you.

Send a copy to TWC only if we request it, using the address or fax number we give you. You can also upload your work search log using our secure online UI Submission Portal. Once received, we will verify your activities.

All work search information you provide to TWC must be true and accurate. Intentionally giving false statements about work search activities constitutes fraud and can result in loss of benefits, overpayments on your claim, and criminal prosecution. For more information, see Unemployment Benefits Fraud.

Work Search Log

You can download TWC's work search log or create your own log. If you create your own log, it must include the same information that is on our version.

Document your activities by including specific details about the work search activity, especially telephone numbers with area codes. Be sure to include:

Date of the work search activity

What you did (for example: searched for work at a Workforce Solutions office, applied online for a job, participated in a job fair, applied in person for an opening)

Type of job you are seeking

Employer names, addresses (mail/email/web page) and phone numbers including area codes

Name of the person you contacted, if applicable, and the method of contact (for example: mail, email, fax, phone)

Result of your activity (for example: submitted job application, sent a résumé, interviewed, hired, not hired, no reply, other)
