Summarize the following:
If you have been found by EDD to be eligible for UI benefits, you will be sent a Continued Claim Form, which can also be found here. You will fill out this form and mail it, file it online, or complete the process over the phone. This process will need to be repeated every two weeks.  If you are filing online you can go here and follow the directions to complete the form. The Continued Claim Form includes questions regarding whether you were able to work; whether you looked for work; whether you did in fact work work; and finally, the form asks you to complete a work search record, which asks you to report the jobs you applied for.  If you have concerns about how you should answer certain questions on the Continued Claim Form, you can follow this guide. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to answer each question on the form. If you find work while you are receiving UI benefits, you are required to disclose that information on your biweekly Continued Claim Form. Whether you receive money for your services or not, you still must disclose the number of hours you worked, who you worked for, how much money you made, and whether you are still working there. Failing to report this information can result in UI fraud, which may subject you to severe punishment. Be sure you look here for information on how to correctly report any income you receive. UI benefits normally last for one year. If you have received one year of UI benefits and are still unemployed and otherwise eligible for normal UI benefits, you may be able to receive a federal extension on your UI benefits. If you are eligible, EDD will automatically file your first extension and they will simply continue to send you your Continued Claim Form every other week. If you need to file more than one extension, EDD will again automatically do so for you and continue to send you your Continued Claim Forms.
Fill out the required forms to keep your unemployment benefits. Report small amounts of income if necessary. Extend unemployment benefits if necessary.
