INDIANA (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Several changes to the unemployment insurance system take effect Wednesday.

Under the "Unemployment Trust Fund Bill," people claiming unemployment benefits must submit one job application a-week and look for work at two other places.

During weeks five through eight of receiving benefits, recipients must also accept any offer for work that pays at least 90-percent of their previous wage.

After 8-weeks, claimants must accept work that pays at least 80-percent.
