Unemployment Resources

The CA Employment Development Department’s Unemployment Insurance program pays benefits to workers who have lost their job and meet the program’s eligibility requirements. If you have become unemployed or partially unemployed, you may file an Unemployment Insurance claim. Visit www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment for more information.
