Can I claim EDD benefits for terminated part-time job while still employed at school? Daycare costs depend on it!

Yes u can file! its called partial unemployment. as long as u lost hours/wages through no fault of ur own ur eligible. doesn't matter that u still have the school job. i did this last yr when my weekend retail job cut my hrs

The situation you're describing is specifically what partial unemployment is designed for. You absolutely can and should apply. The school employee restriction mainly applies to educational staff during scheduled breaks (summer vacation, winter break, etc.) when they're expected to return to work. In your case: 1. You're losing one job through no fault of your own (qualifying event) 2. You'll need to report ALL income when certifying bi-weekly 3. Your benefit amount will be reduced based on your school earnings 4. You must be available for work during the hours you previously worked that management job Be very accurate about reporting your school income each certification period. If your school salary is high enough, it might reduce your weekly benefit to zero for some weeks, but you should still maintain an active claim.

dont listen to thses people, school employees CANT get unemployment, period. EDD will see your school job and automatically deny you trust me i know this from experence!!!

When you file, make sure you list BOTH jobs and clearly indicate which one you lost. The EDD form will ask for your last employer - that should be the management job that's ending. But you'll also need to list your school job as current employment. If you only mention the job you lost, it could look like you're trying to claim full unemployment while fully employed, which is fraud.

I was in almost the exact same situation last year! Lost my weekend retail job but kept my weekday office position. The frustrating part was GETTING THROUGH to EDD to explain the situation - I called 47 times over 3 days and either got disconnected or told the queue was full. Eventually I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes. They have a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The EDD rep confirmed I qualified for partial unemployment and helped set up my claim correctly. I did get benefits, but they were reduced based on my other income - still helped though!

Here's what happens with partial unemployment: 1. You file your initial claim based on the job you lost 2. Your weekly benefit amount (WBA) is calculated based on your highest-earning quarter 3. Every two weeks when you certify, you report your school earnings 4. EDD uses a formula: you can earn up to $99 with no reduction to your WBA, then they reduce your benefit by $1 for every $1.25 you earn above $99 5. If your school salary is high enough, you might not receive payment for some weeks, but keep certifying anyway The important thing is being honest about ALL earnings. You're entitled to partial benefits, but the amount will depend on your school salary.

I'm going to disagree with some people here. The school employee restriction is VERY strict in California. I work in HR at a school district and our employees have been denied even for summer jobs they lose. The restriction applies to ANY school employee, regardless of whether the unemployment is for a different job. The EDD system is designed to flag school employees automatically. That said, it's always worth applying! Worst case they say no. But don't count on the money until you're approved.

How much was ur management job paying compared to school job? If school job pays more than 125% of ur weekly benefit amount, u probably wont get anything anyway. But still file!

One last tip: when you file, you'll be asked about your availability for work. Make sure you indicate you're available for part-time work during the hours you used to work your management job. If you say you're only available on weekends or evenings (for example), that shows you're ready and willing to replace the lost income with similar work. Focus on the fact that you lost income through no fault of your own - that's the key eligibility factor here.
