| If you collected SDI for 52 weeks then you have not recently worked so I doubt you could collect any unemployment benefits. First of all you would have to be willing and able to work but also you would have had to have some recent work since your unemployment benefits are paid according to quarters. They usually go by the last four quarters of work, which is a year, and you stated you were collecting SDI for that time period. I do not believe you would have any benefits payable. |

A couple of things for those in CA (I am an insider):
1. The interviewers do NOT automatically believe the claimant is lying. We do understand that Employers lie too as they have an interest in lying to us. The employer pays into unemployment, it does NOT come out of your checks.
2. If you are collecting unemployment and are engaging in self-employment or have a part time job, you MUST report your wages as you EARN them, not as they are paid.
-we will find out you are working and we will penalize you for it, it is fraud. We also know if you are working in other states.
3. If you do not have childcare, you do not qualify for benefits.
4. If you are caring for a relative full time, during your normal working hours for your occupation, you do not qualify for benefits.
5. If you are going to school during your normal working hours, you do not qualify for benefits. We do find out if you are in school.
6. We find out about everything you do, whether it's anonymous tips from people that know you, from other states, from your employer or former employers etc.
7. Employers in CA can fire you for any reason (except those protected under Civil Rights Act) or no reason. They do NOT have to give you a reason. The majority of the time, the ER's are the ones holding up your benefits!!!
8. You are more likely to get benefits if you get fired than if you quit.
9. We know when you go on Disability, you cannot collect both.
10. It is not a good idea to miss your interview if you have one! You will most likely be disqualified. They do not have to leave you a message to have you call back.
It is your responsibility to make sure you are available.
-it is your responsibility to make sure your information is correct, that you're reporting correctly, etc. Ignorance is not an excuse when it comes to the law and government money. There is literature that we mail out and there is PLENTY of literature online.
11. If you have a question during your interview, wait until the interviewer is done. **Many interviewers are jaded and impatient, it is not your fault, we deal with many MANY people that do committ fraud and should not be entitled to benefits. So it makes it harder for us to sympathize with those of you that are legitimately out of jobs.
12. The EDD staff do their jobs to the best of their ability, they have deadlines and standards of their own that are set by the Federal Government. They do not make the rules, they just follow them. They do not disqualify arbitrarily, we are trained to follow the letter of the law (the California Unemployment Insurance Code). If you dont' like it WRITE TO CONGRESS!!!!
