Hello, I’m reaching out to clarify my eligibility for unemployment benefits through EDD. I was laid off in February 2025 as part of a large-scale company layoff and received unemployment benefits until September 2025. I understand that unemployment benefits may become available again after a certain period, depending on the claim’s benefit year and eligibility requirements. In July 2026, I began a temporary position through a staffing agency. My agency has now informed me that my contract has ended. Could you please clarify whether I may be eligible to reopen my previous EDD claim or file a new unemployment claim? I would appreciate any guidance regarding my eligibility and the steps I should take to apply for benefits.
