Hours cut from 40 to 25 hrs. in California – Does California have partial unemployment?

by Iris Gomez

(Modesto, CA, USA)

My husband has been working for this company 2 years now. They cut his hours from 40 hours to 25 hours. I can’t find anything in California that says that he is able to draw a partial unemployment check. Is there a partial unemployment in California? Starting today he works 5 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

Hi Iris,

Yes, California does have partial unemployment.

You can read about it here.

You can find general information about it beginning on page 16 of Monetary Entitlement.
