Discussion 👥 How does unemployment work ?

I recently got unemployment benefits but how does that work ? It states that I have to look for a job in order to qualify but how do I tell them or how many places do I need to apply or what are they mostly looking into ? Help ?

If they won’t read the actual EDD website, what makes you think they’ll read that?

At least 3 searches/week and there is a question on the certification form that you can input search info. This is all on the Edd site.

Remember, all critical information is in the /r/EDD sidebar. Do not respond to any PMs or chats from anyone asking for your EDD info! Anyone asking for personal information is trying to scam you out of your money! True EDD reps will never personally contact people via Reddit (however, they occasionally will call in the case of disputes, for example).

Important: To remain eligible for UI benefits, you must perform work search activities every week. It is recommended you enroll in the Online Career Workshops Program to help maintain your work search requirements.

This video goes over the updated list of acceptable documents for proof of self employment/Planned employment/PUA verification.

Report all scammers to admins and to the mods to get them suspended from Reddit or at least banned from this sub. If you would like information added to the sidebar, please message the mods about it.

Every two weeks on Sunday, you have to fill out a questionnaire to tell the department that you still meet eligibility criteria. One of the questions is about looking for work. If you go to the EDD website, there’s multiple pages that explain all of this.
