Q&A: Get answers to your questions about unemployment benefits
We’re no longer live, but please keep those questions coming! Reporter David Lightman will be checking back and answering your questions through Tuesday morning (April 28) in the comment section below.
Confused about how to apply for unemployment benefits? Having trouble getting through to California’s Employment Development Department to ask your questions?
So are lots of others. We’re hearing from readers who want to know exactly how to apply. Or how to answer certain questions. Or why they were turned down.
EDD officials readily acknowledge consumers face two unusual challenges. Most people seeking help have never had to file for unemployment benefits before, so the process is a mystery. And because the system is so overwhelmed the agency is making constant adjustments to handle the volume.
We’ll try to ease the process.
