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

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.

funny

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.

I work at an US bank in a middle office role in India but I’m not liking it much because it’s process oriented. Now I’m getting an offer from an Indian based bank for the Treasury and FX sales role but I’m so confused about the job security and targets. My questions are below:

1) Will I be asked to work for 12 hours?
2) Will I be given targets and if I don’t meet it, will I be fired or something?

1) Am I “only” the winner here? I wasn’t engaged because it was a bullshit job, but I didn’t think I was doing THAT poorly.
2) Can I tell them I’m going to McKinsey? Can they revert the severance?

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.
