Term dates:


About your last day of work:

The earliest date you can file is your last day of work. One date to use for your last day of work is the last day of the term, as listed in your district’s academic calendar. If all your courses are online, this is the safest approach. If your last class ends before the term ends, and you are not working after then, you can file on your last day of work. Note that districts may take a different stance on what is considered your last day of work.

Don't try to "correct" the employer address:

While EDD populates the fields for your employer, you may see what appears to be an incorrect address for the employer (the college) that you worked for. Many colleges contract out with a third party, such as a credit agency, to administer unemployment claims. So you may see an address used by this third party listed as the address of your employer. Simply ignore this and do not try to "correct" this address. But when asked if the mailing address is different than the physical address, you can then enter the actual college address.

About the first date you worked for an employer:

When asked for the first date you worked for an employer, should you enter your initial date of hire, or the beginning of the last term for which you were hired? Enter your initial date of hire. But if you can't remember when that was, estimate the date. It doesn't really matter.
