We develop a structural econometric model of job search with monitoring and sanctions. Search environment is nonstationary due to sanction threat and anticipation of benefit reduction. Chances of avoiding the sanction are endogenous and depend on the optimal search behaviour in the period prior to meeting with the monitoring authority. Estimation of the model for the data of a pilot monitoring and sanction programme in Belgium shows weak reemployment effects in the initial phases of the programme and stronger reemployment effects closer to programme termination.
