You must begin immediately to demonstrate to EDD that you are willing and physically able to work and are actively seeking work appropriate to your skills and training. You are not expected to look for a job outside of your regular line of work until after a few months have elapsed and you have still not found the work you are trained for and qualified to do. Despite the favorable appellate court decision, EDD has been slow to get the message. However, we are quite confident that we can get the denials reversed upon appeal. If your claim is denied, you should file an appeal after you have received the denial in writing.
Ordinary stationery is acceptable.
Include your social security number. AFT 2121 will represent me in the appeal. After the appeal is filed, the Union will represent all claimants, usually in a mass hearing.
