Your claim is valid for one year, beginning the Sunday of the week that you filed. This booklet will help you understand the claim process, when benefits are payable, and your responsibilities when certifying for benefits.  \nThe unemployment program, funded completely by employers, provides partial wage replacement to workers who have lost their job and meet the program’s eligibility requirements each week they certify for benefits.  \n􀃂 Basic Eligibility Requirements  \nTo have a valid claim and be eligible to receive unemployment benefits, you must meet the monetary requirement of working and earning a minimum amount of wages within the past 18 months. In addition, you must meet the following eligibility requirements set by state law:  \n• Be unemployed through no fault of your own. If you were terminated or fired from your last job, quit your last job, or left your job due to a trade dispute or strike, you will be scheduled for a phone interview.  \n• Be able and available for work. You must be physically able to work and available to work. In most instances, you are required to work full-time. If you are not able or available to work full-time, you will be scheduled for a phone interview.  \n• Be willing to accept suitable work. You must be willing to accept a job offer in your customary occupation. If you refuse a job offer, you will be scheduled for a phone interview.  \n• Be actively looking for work. You must be actively looking for work. Looking for work may include contacting employers about a job in-person, by mail, by phone, or on the Internet. It also includes searching the Internet, newspapers, or other publications for jobs, and contacting prior employers about job openings. If you have not looked for work during a week, you will be scheduled for a phone interview.  \n􀃂 Phone Interviews, Eligibility Decisions, and Appeal Rights  \nIf there is a question about your eligibility after you have filed an unemployment claim, you will be scheduled for a phone interview with an EDD representative to determine if you are eligible to receive benefits. You will be sent a Notification of Unemployment Insurance Benefits Eligibility Interview,(DE 4800), with the date and time of the interview. An EDD representative will call you at the scheduled interview date and time.  \nIf we determine that you are not eligible for benefits, you will be sent a Notice of Determination, DE 1080, with the reason(s) you have been denied benefits, and an Appeal Form, DE 1000M. If you disagree with the decision, you have the right to appeal the decision and have a hearing before a third-party, independent Administrative Law Judge from the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. Complete and mail the Appeal Form, or a letter with your name, Social Security number, and reason why you disagree with the decision, within 30 days from the mailing date of the Notice of Determination to the address on the notice.  \n􀃂 Managing Your Claim with UI OnlineSM  \nOnce you've filed your claim, you can use UI OnlineSM 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to certify for benefits, get your latest claim and payment information, reopen an existing claim, review appointments, reschedule phone interviews, and more!. You'll also receive important notifications such as reminders to certify for benefits. For convenience, UI OnlineSM is available for smartphone and tablet users.
