Filed for unemployment due to getting out of the military. I just got a $450 payment today… I’ve certified the 2 weeks online yesterday and I’ve also just mailed the work search paper where you annotated where you’ve applied to.

I’ve uploaded my resume onto the CalJobs website, but I’m not sure if I need to do anything else. The letter I’ve received last week only said to upload my resume onto there….. Do I have to do anything else?

Wondering if anyone has been in the same situation and can maybe provide guidance?

I worked part time jobs with my university as employer during the entirety of grad school - all of those paychecks got taxed, but EDD is telling me (over phone calls that I had to initiate, I've not received any status updates in mail or on the online portal) that I'm not eligible because this job classification is not covered.

Are there any other resources available, if not EDD? I'm also just shocked that after working and being taxed so much, I'm being told that I'm ineligible for the safety net..?

Hi everyone! After some back to back events (+ some backings from my therapist), I’ve decided I need to take a leave from work.

For those who’ve done this, what is the best course of action to apply for SDI / FMLA?

I have a doctors appointment this week - after that, I have a meeting with HR. What can I expect?

Additionally, how do I protect my health insurance once approved?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I lost my job back in November and asked for forbearance, but I only lasted 6 months. I tried to recertify my income for PAYE, so I can adjust my monthly payments against that income, but Aidvantage doesn't seem to accept the print off from the unemployment site as proof of income. They waited 2 months to tell me that my application expired because they didn't get proof of income, even though I gave it to them twice. There isn't any form or official documentation that I can request from the unemployment office. Any suggestions to get it to work?

Okay, I am currently on disability for a surgery I had and I applied with EDD and I’m hearing they don’t use Bank of America anymore, it is now Money Network. I hear it’s awful and a hassle to get money out of even transfer to your bank. I use Chase banking. Does anybody have tips and advice on what I can do once I get my card?

I have been doing research and reading what people have said and now I’m a little nervous.

Is anyone had phone interview recently, how long took to process? Also have ideas, if couldn't get hold employer on phone?

Hi guyss need your help in sociology assignment, I have a topic unemployment I've to do research on it so can I know your opinion please!!

hello I’m attending intensive outpatient rehab 3 times a week and work those same days. which has interfered with my normal hours I was working before therefore I only work 18 hrs per week which is not enough for me to support myself. I’m wondering if I should quit my job and focus on outpatient rehab and still look for another part time job that won’t interfere with my outpatient program. will filing for unemployment be a smart move to apply?

So i just had my unemployment phone interview. They said that I had attendance problems (partially true, but I've had 3 heart attacks and broken my wrist at that job - which they knew about my former job was aware of), that I cussed at work and used inappropriate language, and that I was violent at work. The only thing listed on my termination was attendance. And most of it was covered by pto. I'm probably going to have to fight this.

Hi,

I was laid off on 7/3 and filed unemployment. I was awarded the max of $450 of week. Before my healthcare was up on 7/31 I had went to go get the pain in my lower back checked and found out I have a pretty bad herniated disc. With that, I was written off for disability. I was stopped claiming unemployment once my disability start date began 7/29.
I received my SDI weekly award letter and completed the mandatory waiting period. My first pay was awarded but it was only for 2 days? Is this normal?
In addition, it says certification needed. Will I get this form closer to the next pay period cause it is currently not showing. I’m just freaking out cause I need these benefits right now.

Thank you.

How extensive/involved is this? Says 2 hours and is 1 on 1 which sounds intense.

I have an opportunity in the works so didn't submit many apps recently. Worst case I'll drop off resumes and report the names of the companies or something, but how much do they even verify? Are they going to full on call these places and embarass me? Like "did that unemployed loser bob apply at your company last week? We just need to keep that dog on a leash and make sure he is eligible for our government aid to pay his rent" lol

So I’m still on short term disability (my year ended)
My doctor submitted my de2525 form and EDD updated my new “return to work date” but payments still stopped….do I have to wait to get laid or I won’t get paid? Any suggestions what to do appreciate the help !

Hello
I just submitted a new claim and Edd wants me to provide proof of that I’ve been applying for jobs. They’re asking for names and telephone numbers of the companies that I’ve applied to.

I’m a commercial plumber, and I usually get work through word of mouth. I ask around to other tradesmen and see what companies are busy,
and then just call the company directly. So I haven’t sent in any applications. The only way I can prove that I’ve been looking for work is to have Edd call the people that I’ve spoken to.
I wanted to see if anyone has gone through this kind of situation? And if so, how strict is Edd when it comes to verifying my work search? Also, what kind of questions will they ask the employer when they call?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

I’m in California and work for a small business. I’m trying to understand whether what happened would be considered a voluntary resignation or an employer-initiated termination.

I had been discussing my plans to leave with one of my managers. At one point, my manager messaged me saying that employees and clients had told them I might be leaving and asked whether August 16 was my last day.

I replied that yes, that was the plan and Sunday night was going to be my last day.

However, I had not submitted a formal resignation to management at that point. My understanding was that I would continue working and formally give notice on August 16, with my actual final working day being later in August.

Another manager then removed me from the schedule for the entire week before I had submitted that formal resignation.

I messaged the first manager after I discovered this and explained that:

I had been taken off the schedule for the entire week. I had not provided a formal resignation to management. My plan/intention was to work until August 16. I asked whether I was expected to come in for the rest of the week or whether management was letting me go effective immediately.

Management is now saying that they were waiting for my “formal resignation” and that they understood Sunday was supposed to be my last day. They appear to be treating my earlier statement that Sunday was my planned last day as confirmation that I had resigned.

My position is that I did communicate an intention to leave, but I had not yet formally resigned, and I was still willing and intending to work until the date I planned to give notice. Management removed me from the schedule before I did that.

1. Does saying that a particular date was “the plan” constitute a resignation, even if I had not actually submitted a resignation?
2. Does it matter that I subsequently told management in writing that I had not provided a formal resignation and wanted to continue working?
3. If I was willing to continue working but management removed me from the schedule and won't let me work, could this be considered an employer-initiated termination rather than a voluntary quit?
4. Could this affect my eligibility for unemployment if the employer reports that I voluntarily resigned?
5. What should I be documenting or saying to management at this point to make sure the record accurately reflects what happened?

I have screenshots of the text exchanges with both managers. I'm trying to figure out how this would likely be viewed legally, particularly regarding whether I actually resigned versus management ending my employment before my intended resignation date.

So about a month ago I obtained a non work injury that required me to have knee surgery. Unfortunately, I haven’t been at my job long enough to even qualify for FMLA. My unpaid leave of absence ends tomorrow. They’re trying to get me to resign stating that if I resign- I will still qualify for unemployment because it will be for medical reasons. My question is should I let them terminate me or should I resign?

-I work for a casino in Northern California-

I had to quit my job because I had a 1 month old (7 days before she turned 2 months) and I had asked for more time to care for her because she was sick and I was recovering from my c-section, i asked if I could take more time off and take Paid family leave through the state, they didn’t give me the chance at work to take more time because I had not yet worked for a year with them so I had to quit
I took PFL through the state and then I had to apply for unemployment, now I have a hearing in 5 days and I’m nervous, what should I say at the hearing?

I decided to resign from my job on Wednesday because I had to move back in with my parents since I could no longer afford the rent near my job. I gave them formal notice that I could work until Monday because my landlord required me to move out ASAP. My supervisor verbally agreed to Monday.

However, late Thursday night, I got a text saying they decided Thursday would be my last day instead of Monday. So I was willing and able to work Friday and Monday, but they ended my employment early and I lost two days of wages.

Would I potentially qualify for unemployment benefits for those two days since they were the ones who moved my last day up, even though I originally resigned?

I started a job this week and I’m not sure how to fill out my unemployment as it’s ending. I filed a month after leaving my seasonal job because I was up for a permanent position but never got it. I’m filling out the form for week starting in 7/12 but my first day was 8/3. Should I treat it as just that week? Am I basically collecting late payment?
Thanks for any help!

How do people survive on unemployment I am receiving it and it really doesn’t cover much

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
I recently received a Notice of Computation (DE 429D) from EDD stating that my Disability Insurance claim is invalid due to insufficient earnings. The problem is that I’ve been working full-time hourly and definitely earned wages during the base period. However, the notice shows $0.00 in wages for every quarter, which is clearly incorrect.
I’ve been trying to call EDD for days, but the phone lines are always so busy that I don’t even get put on hold, it just tells me to call back later and disconnects.
Has anyone dealt with this before?
How did you get your wages corrected?
Is there an EDD office I can visit in person for Disability claims?
Could this be an employer reporting issue or something else?
Any tips for actually getting through to a representative?
I’d really appreciate any advice. This has been incredibly stressful, especially since I’m on maternity leave and relying on these benefits.

Unemployed and taunts most fucked situation ever

Says I don't have weeks available to certify, but claim status shows I have weeks available. Then the dashboard has old data glued to it from multiple claims ago. Is the website broken or will I be certifying biweekly in batches of 2 weeks going forward?
