The Unemployment Program (UI) provides financial benefits for workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own, who are able and available for work, and must actively search for suitable work each week as instructed by the State of Californiia Employment Development Department (EDD). Eligibility for receiving unemployment is set by law, and EDD administers these laws. You can find California's UI eligibility requirements in the Unemployment Insurance Code.
A claim is subject to periodic quality control and benefit audit reviews. It is illegal to willfully make false statements or knowingly fail to report all facts to receive unemployment benefits.
