The EDD provides a variety of support services to people who have lost their jobs, had their hours reduced, or had their businesses affected during economic downturns like the one created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The federal unemployment benefit programs associated with the pandemic have ended. For more information, visit Federal Provisions for Unemployment. However, you may still be eligible for regular unemployment benefits or other support services from the EDD.

You may be eligible for benefit payments through the following programs:

• Unemployment Insurance – For workers who have lost their job or had their hours reduced.
• Disability Insurance – For workers who need time off work due to illness, injury, or pregnancy.
• Paid Family Leave – For workers who need time off for childbirth, caregiving, or bonding.

The fastest way to apply for unemployment, disability, or Paid Family Leave is through Benefit Programs Online.
