News Release
May 3, 2021
PHOENIX Governor Doug Ducey today issued an Executive Order to meet surging job demand and support job creators throughout Arizona as employment opportunities grow and the COVID-19 vaccine is available for anyone who wants it.
Today’s Order rescinds a March 2020 Executive Order that waived the requirement that an individual receiving employment benefits must be actively looking for work in order to receive the benefits.
The Arizona Department of Economic Security will begin enforcing the reinstated requirement the week of Sunday, May 23.
“A year out from the start of the pandemic, jobs and vaccines are readily available,” said Governor Ducey. “Arizonans are ready to get back to work. Our economy is booming, jobs need filling, more than 2 million Arizonans are fully vaccinated, and vaccination appointments are available to anyone who wants one.”
People who want to collect unemployment benefits in Arizona will once again need to actively search for work to get them following an executive order Gov. Doug Ducey issued Monday.
In March 2020, Ducey waived the so-called work search requirement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it hard or impossible for people to find work as businesses largely shut down.
But with employers having trouble filling some jobs and the relative ease of obtaining a COVID-19 vaccination today, people will again need to be in the job market to collect public benefits in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Economic Security will enforce the reinstated requirement the week of Sunday, May 23, according to the Governor s Office.
In spite of the pandemic over the past year, the Town of Fountain Hills tourism and marketing efforts have been ongoing and effective, according to Town Economic Development Director James Smith.
Smith was addressing the council at its April 20 regular session to update the tourism and marketing efforts for the year.
He said the core messaging of the marketing was that Fountain Hills is a great place for a day trip â targeting regional markets; it is safe, with numerous outdoor recreation opportunities (hiking, biking, golf) and health and wellness.
On a broader level the town continued its partnerships with Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and Phoenix/Mesa Gateway Airport, providing kiosk information for arriving passengers. The town maintained its inventory of visitor guides, dining guides and other literature at the airports. The town also had presentations for video displays at the airports. Smith said the town paid production costs only for those videos.
