Looking for answer specific to California EDD unemployment benefits?
Below you’ll find some older Q&As specific to how California unemployment benefits work in general. By no means, is this an exhaustive list of Q&As and how the EDD should be treating your unemployment claim, but from a time in the not so distant past when I was overwhelmed with new questions and thought if I sorted questions state by state .. the answers would be easier to find.
Clearly, in hindsight, I see I was being naive, to think I had time to sort Q&As. Eventually (somewhere around 2012) I gave up and just started insisting on knowing which state benefits a question was concerning, when I thought it was essential info .. for me to answer, or insisting someone first know if their burden was to prove, or rebut facts at unemployment hearings.
