Has anyone here filed for unemployment in California?

I got laid off 2 weeks ago and at the time was seeing projections online that the fed govt pmts would only cover about 25 million ppl (not sure how accurate that is).

My claim is still pending with CA but the total amount projected per week is only $400; doesn’t include an extra $600 fed govt pmt. Does anyone know if the $600 gets added somewhere else in the process? I hope I didn’t just miss out because I was lay-off 25,000,001

My husband got laid off, he gets around $400 from CA UI and $600 FED stimulus per week.

He applied for UI in March and got his payments 2 weeks after application

like

No he automatically got it. Just did the usual application for CA UI

like

The extra $600 doesn’t show up because it’s not part of your account balance, it’s just automatically included with each week of payment. In two weeks when you certify that you’ve been looking for work you’ll see it show up alongside the $400 a week.

like

In TX the $600 is automatically included once you are approved for regular benefits. Sorry I don't know how CA is handling, but surely they're at least as efficient as Texas.

We’ll See. Thank you!

Also: I’ve tried calling several times but can’t get through to a real person at the CA dept.
thanks in advance for any advice!

I work for a CA State Agency and from what I they told us in emails is that state workers who can’t work from home who are being reassigned to handle unemployment calls. So I would keep trying, I assume they are training the repurposed workers at the moment and it will be easier to get through soon.

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Alrighty All, I posted a couple of months ago when I got laid off. I took some time to enjoy my summer and now it’s time to get back to work.

So…if anyone knows of or is hiring in the food contract management area or something where my skills could transfer, hit me up!
