QUESTION I need to fill out the form for unemployment,
where do I find these forms, what do I need (SIN, something from the
employer) to apply
Answer.
If you’ve lost your job and find yourself in the position of having to file for unemployment compensation insurance for the first time, or for the first time in quite some time, particularly at a time of high stress such as losing your job, the application process can seem confusing to you.
California Employment Projection
California’s unemployment, as of just five days ago, March 20, 2009, rose to a staggering 10.1 percent.
With the Employment Development (EDD) now opening its call centers from 10 am til 2PM on Saturdays, merely to be able to handle the growing influx of those who require unemployment compensation insurance, and assistance in application for it, what’s the jobless rate going to do next? With California’s state unemployment currently about two percent higher than the national average of 8.1 percent, having grown in just one year nearly four percent, what’s the next few months going to bring for the job seeker in California?
Employment Development Department Services
Just like elsewhere in the United States today, California too has its share of unemployment. People who have been displaced from their jobs through no fault of their own, and are having to seek out new employment and a means to exist until that new job comes along.
There are now, fortunately a good number of government web sites which will permit you to avail yourself of their services and to both file for, and certify for your unemployment compensation while you wait for a new position. One such site is the CA EDD site, which is located at www edd ca gov.
