Question re: California unemployment

kmclaurin@yahoo.com (The Coach)	3/20/2004 5:35:38 PM
I am currently receiving unemployment benefits in CA. I have put in a bid to perform some computer consulting work (probably about 2 weeks work). How does this affect my unemployment benefits? (Please note : I have searched the EDD website without success and can't get through on the phone in an effort to get an answer to this question). Will the amount I report as income from consulting be deducted from my unemployment check? If so, do I make it up later, if I am still unemployed? Thanks for any responses!

Will the amount I report as income from consulting be deducted from my unemployment check? If so, do I make it up later, if I am still unemployed? Thanks for any responses! In NH, the amount is prorated. If I recall correctly, your benefits is reduced by 40 cents fro each dollar of consulting income. If you earn enough to reduce the amount of your benefit to zero, then the week doesn't count as one of your 26 weeks (or 39 if you happen to qualify for extended benefits.) But if you do reduce it to zero you may have to formally re-open the claim before getting more benefits. The income won't count towards your basis for future benefits. *** Tim Horrigan <horrigan@aol.com> ***

Will the amount I report as income from consulting be deducted from my unemployment check? yes, definitely If so, do I make it up later, if I am still unemployed? not sure what you mean by this; the "biggie" here is to make sure the folks at EDD know that you're self employed, or you may end up having to re-file/re-start your claim over

Report it on each week's reporting form as "earned income from selfemployment" (I don't remember exactly how to do that.) It will reduce your weekly payment by about 75% of the amount earned. (I KNOW unemployment checks were biweekly when I was on unemployment. They're still CALCULATED weekly.) It doesn't count against the 26-39 week dollar amount limit on total claims, but DOES count against the one year limit on how long a claim can be open.
