Reemployment Assistance Division

Effective July 1, South Dakota’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) program will be renamed Reemployment Assistance (RA). This is a result of HB 1035 which passed during the 2019 legislative session.

The bill makes no changes to the administration of this long-standing program, such as collection of taxes or payment of benefits.

The main URL will change to dlr.sd.gov/ra on Friday, June 28.

NLRA Rights Poster

Updates have been made to the Notice of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor Laws poster that federal contractors are required to post. This is a separate poster from the "6-in-1" poster. 

U.S. DOL updated the poster to reflect a new telephone number for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the agency responsible for enforcing the NLRA, as well as contact information for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. No other changes or updates were made at this time.

State and federal posting requirements are avialable on the DLR website at dlr.sd.gov/employment_
laws/posting_requirements.
