Answer 2

For an accurate answer, contact the local department that administers unemployment insurance (UI). Without more detail, it is difficult to answer your question. So what follows is just some general information.

Each state varies a little, but the most require that an individual work at least 20 to 25 weeks. The amount earned per week may also be a factor. If California is the only state in which you have worked, then you will need to establish a wage history there before you qualify. However, if you have recently moved to California and you have worked in another state, or multiple states, monetary eligibility is not contingent on the length of time you have lived in California. For example, if you recently moved from Arizona, where you have an established wage history, California would most likely advise you to contact Arizona to file your claim. You may apply for benefits with a state in which you do not reside. If you have worked in more than one state, California may do what is called a combined wage claim. In this case California would request wage information from each state where you have worked in approximately the past 18 months and California would administer the benefits.

Again, contact your local office. There is no harm in contacting them regarding eligibility questions.
