Unemployment Insurance
 

  • If you have lost your job, or had your hours reduced because of the COVID-19 Crisis, you may be able to partially recover your wages by filling out an Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim. Employees may file a UI claim here: https://edd.ca.gov/unemployment/File_an_Unemployment_Insurance_Claim.htm

    Unemployment Insurance provides payment of part of one’s wages to workers who lose their job or have their hours reduced through no fault of their own. Workers who are temporarily unemployed due to COVID-19 and expected to return to work with their employer within a few weeks are required to look for work each week. However, they must remain able, available, and ready to work during their unemployment for each week of benefits claimed, as well as meet all other eligibility criteria. Eligible individuals can receive benefits that range from $40 -$450 per week. The Governor's Executive Order allows you to collect Unemployment Insurance benefits for the first week you are out of work.

​

  • If you can’t go to work because you have no one to care for your children while schools are closed and your children are home, and you cannot work remotely (from a computer at home), you may be able to collect Unemployment Insurance benefits. You may file a claim at: https://edd.ca.gov/unemployment/File_an_Unemployment_Insurance_Claim.htm
    EDD representatives will decide if you are eligible.

​

 

​

Disability
 

  • If you have (or have been exposed to) COVID-19, and this has been certified by a doctor, you may file a Disability Insurance (DI) claim:
    https://edd.ca.gov/Disability/.
    Benefit amounts are approximately 60-70 percent of wages (depending on income), and range from $50 -$1,300 per week.

 

Paid Family Leave (PFL)
 

  • If you are unable to work because you are caring for a sick or quarantined family member with COVID-19 (certified by a medical professional), you may file a Paid Family Leave (PFL) claim here 

    You may also use paid sick leave in accordance with the law. PFL provides up to six weeks of benefit payments to eligible workers who have a full or partial loss of wages because they need time off work to care for a seriously ill family member. Benefit amounts are approximately 60 -70 percent of wages (depending on income) and range from $50 -$1,300 a week.
