INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Many unemployed Indiana residents will begin in-person checkups on their efforts to find work.

People finishing their first 26 weeks of unemployment coverage from the state will have to check in before receiving extended federal benefits. Congress passed a law in February requiring that anyone seeking an extension of unemployment benefits submit to the checks.

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development announced this week that Hoosiers will have to check in at one of the state's WorkOne centers to receive the benefits. Anyone who has already completed the in-person review will not have to go to another one. But anyone who does not complete the review could lose their benefits.
