EDD Resources

The Employment Development Department (EDD) provides a variety of support services to individuals affected by COVID-19 in California. For faster and more convenient access to those services, use the online options and Coronavirus information page.

Sick or Quarantined

If unable to work due to having or being exposed to COVID-19 (certified by a medical professional), you may file a Disability Insurance (DI) claim. 

For guidance on the disease, visit the California Department of Public Health website.

Reduced Work Hours

If your employer has reduced your hours or shut down operations due to COVID-19, you may file an Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim. 

The Governor’s Executive Order waives the one-week unpaid waiting period, so you may collect UI benefits for the first week you are out of work. If eligible, the EDD processes and issues payments within a few weeks of receiving a claim.
