CA unemployment benefits for seasonal work?

Question

I am currently getting unemployment and recently got hired for a seasonal job. Don't know if I should take it or not because I don't wanna lose my benefits after the job is done in january. Will I lose those benefits? Or not?

Answer 1

You won't get paid while you are working and when you are laid off again, you can reopen your claim. Double check with EDD, but that's the way it's always been. They want to encourage people to work and sometimes the seasonal job becomes permanent if you do really well.

Answer 2

You won't lose your benefits.

You complete the form every week like usual. On the weeks you worked, you include that you worked and what you are paid. Depending on what you earn at the seasonal job, you will either get reduced unemployment or no unemployment for those weeks.

When the job finishes, you just go back to claiming that you did not work and you were not paid.



What this does is extends your claim without reducing the amount you are eligible.



You ALWAYS make more money working than getting unemployment. For example: if you earn $400 a week on unemployment, they will let you earn $425 working before they will cut off unemployment money.

Answer 3

you could mail it on Thursday. The professional (yet unenforced) rule is that you'll mail it as a lot as 2 weeks after the end of the era for that you're claiming advantages. in spite of the undeniable fact that, because they don't have the factors to envision the postmark dates, the unofficial rule is they might want to acquire it interior about 17 days of the end of the era for that you're claiming advantages (they assume that the mail can take as a lot as 3 days). In different words, only make positive it receives to them by technique of Christmas.
