Laid off at my work.

Edit.... damnit i just reread your post and i wasted time typing all this up.....



yarr since you were laid off you qualify for EDD unemployment claim. essentially you can get pay from your last job for an x period. depending on how much you make you will essientially get payed at most every 2 weeks about 10 bucks an hour.

file a claim @ Employment Development Department input your salary history and reasons for being terminated. saying i was laid off because company looked for budget cuts should suffice.

takes about a month for it to start but when approved (they will also submit to you a credit card where cash will be deposited. you can do direct deposit but i havent done this myself

Here are some requirements once you qualify.
Do not miss a submission date for a claim form!!!! (must be submitted after date listed within 2 weeks) or you can do online submissions and skip mail forms and speeed up the process from 1 week to 2-3 days.

register with caljobs (somewhat required)
cal jobs can act as proof your looking for a job.

if you do find work you can still receive money from your claim you just cant forget to submit your claim form. with info from your current job

ive gone through this twice. hmu if you have any questions
 
sorry to hear about your getting laid off, yarr. i've been in that boat a few times myself. if you don't mind some advice, take a chance to relax and re-charge your batteries because before you know it you'll be working at a new job again.

cheers,

Sorry to hear about the news man, hopefully you will bounce back and find something better. I have been in your situation a few times already and it's no fun and can be depressing. Just hang in there and keep your head up man! Better things are always to come, just gotta make it happen and keep a positive attitude.
 
Thanks! So far I applied for CalFresh and Medi-Cal and an EBT card(food stamps). I also applied for a LIFELINE cellphone and now I get free unlimited calls/text on an android smartphone for a year until I have to reapply again next year. I was approved pretty quickly for unemployment and for anyone going through this process in the future it really has been easy so far! I wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate your advice and support it means a lot to me no matter how small the gesture! 47R!!!
