THE STEPS TO FILE FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT

Employment Development Department
Unemployment insurance is coverage provided to
workers that lose their jobs. It isnt available
to everyone so you must apply for these payments.
California provides several options to file for
unemployment claims, including online, via mail
and over the phone. Unemployment claims are
managed by the Employment Development Department
(or EDD). The EDD released guidelines on the
documentation and information you should have
with you prior to filing a claim to reduce delays
in processing your claim.

Most of the information settles around you and
your former employer. The EDD requires sufficient
contact and personal information to verify your
identity. You will be asked to provide your
drivers license information, social security
number, name, address and phone number. The rest
of the information then focuses on your last job.
You must provide the last date that you worked.
Additionally, if you are working part-time and
applying for unemployment you must provide the
number of hours you work each week. Working does
not eliminate your benefits but it will reduce
the payments. Moreover, you must report any
departure benefits provided by your employer.
Severance and residual payments may also reduce
your payments however it should not invalidate
them.

You also need to provide contact information for
your last employer such as
Physical address, Phone number and Mailing
address. Make sure this information is accurate
because the EDD will send them information
regarding your claim. You will be asked the
reason for your departure. Were you fired, quit
or laid-off? It may be helpful to write out a
brief statement to collect and organize your
thoughts. If you quit or were fired then you may
have a follow-up telephone interview.

If you believe that your employer did not respect
your rights under the law or under your contract
then you may have a valid claim. You may want to
speak a Los Angeles Employment Law Attorney
to review the circumstances and determine the
best course of action.
