Filing for California unemployment benefits - Good luck



My attempt at helping a person that was laid off today were fruitless, as the California unemployment system is most likely overwhelmed with new claims. Their hours of operation online are 2:00 A.M. through 10:00 P.M.

Benefit Programs Online

Due to current events, we are experiencing a large increase in claims filed and are extending our staff resources to keep up with the demand. For faster service, use UI Online to file your claim, certify for benefits, and get payment information. Thank you for patience.


 System Maintenance: SDI Online

Due to scheduled system maintenance, SDI Online will be unavailable from Friday, March 20 at 8 p.m. to Saturday, March 21 at 2 a.m.
During this period you can access your claim and check payment information through our Disability Insurance or Paid Family Leave automated phone systems. Information about your debit card is available on Bank of America's EDD Debit CardSM website.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve our services.
