Why is asking me to register through CalJobs? Does that mean I’ll be getting my benefits soon? Someone please answer this question for me since I’m very confused :/

Work search is required to receive unemployment benefits. These requirements were paused during the pandemic but now have resumed.

To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Hi John! The registration requirement is part of the work search requirements that have been reinstated. It doesn't necessarily mean your benefits are coming soon - it's more about demonstrating that you're actively looking for work, which is a condition for continuing to receive unemployment benefits. The letter you mentioned about not receiving might be a separate issue that needs to be addressed directly with EDD. I'd recommend calling them using one of the methods Tom shared above to get clarity on your specific case and payment status.

•@Charity Cohan Thank you for the clear explanation! That makes a lot more sense. I was worried the registration was some kind of delay tactic, but understanding it s'just part of the work search requirements is reassuring. I ll'definitely try calling using Tom s'methods to sort out the payment issue. Really appreciate everyone s'help in this community!

I went through the same confusion with registration! From my experience, it's definitely part of the work search requirements that came back after the pandemic pause. The registration itself won't speed up your benefits, but it's required to keep them coming. What really helped me was keeping detailed records of all my job search activities in - can ask for proof at any time. If you're having payment issues on top of this, definitely use those phone tricks Tom shared. The combination of registration requirements AND payment problems can be overwhelming, but they're usually separate issues that need to be handled individually.

•@Mei Liu This is really helpful advice! I m'new to dealing with and the whole requirement caught me off guard too. Keeping detailed records sounds like a smart move - I hadn t'thought about potentially asking for proof later. It s'reassuring to hear from someone who s'been through the same confusion. Did you find easy to navigate once you got started with it? And how long did it typically take for your job search activities to show up in their system?

I was in the exact same boat a few months ago! The registration is definitely just part of the work search requirements - it's not an indicator that your benefits are coming soon, unfortunately. It's basically 's way of making sure you're actively job searching, which is required to keep receiving unemployment. The timing of getting that request along with issues about is probably just coincidence, but both need to be addressed. I'd suggest registering for ASAP to stay compliant, and then tackle the payment issue separately by calling EDD. Those YouTube links Tom shared are gold - I used similar methods and finally got through to a real person. Hang in there, the system is frustrating but you'll get it sorted out!
