Workers do not contribute any of their paycheck to the unemployment program.  \nWhat are unemployment benefits?  \nUnemployment benefits ([edd.ca.gov/unemployment](edd.ca.gov/unemployment)) provide temporary income to workers who  \nhave lost their job or had their hours reduced through no fault of their own and meet all eligibility requirements. You can receive from $40 to $450 each week, depending on your earnings over the past 18 months. The Unemployment Benefit Calculator ([edd.ca.gov/uicalculator](edd.ca.gov/uicalculator)) can help you estimate what your benefit amount could be.  \nAm I Eligible?  \nTo receive benefits, you must meet the following requirements ([edd.ca.gov/ui_eligibility/):](edd.ca.gov/ui_eligibility/):)  \n• Have earned enough wages during a specific period based on your earnings over the past 18 months. This is called the base period. See How Unemployment Insurance  Benefits Are Computed (DE8714AB) (PDF)([edd.ca.gov/siteassets/files/pdf_pub_ctr/](edd.ca.gov/siteassets/files/pdf_pub_ctr/)[ ](edd.ca.gov/siteassets/files/pdf_pub_ctr/)[de8714ab.pdf](de8714ab.pdf)) .  \n• Totally or partially unemployed.  \n• Unemployed through no fault of your own.  \n• Physically able to work.  \n• Available for work.  \n• Ready and willing to accept work immediately.  \n• Are not currently receiving disability benefits.  \nIf you quit, were fired, or were incorrectly classified by your employer as an independent contractor, you may still qualify for benefits.  \nIf you are not sure of your eligibility, we encourage you to apply. We will let you know if you meet the requirements for this program.  \nDE 2321 Rev. 2 (8-24) Internet Page 2 of 9  \nStep 1: Get Your Information  \nin Order  \nApply for unemployment benefits ([edd.ca.gov/ui_filing_a_claim](edd.ca.gov/ui_filing_a_claim)) when you lose your job or have your hours reduced.
