ATTN: ADJUNCT FACULTY
YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Unemployment insurance (UI) benefits are not a form of welfare.
They are an earned benefit for which you, as adjunct faculty, have the
right to apply between terms. Even if you have been
offered an assignment for the following term, you may still be eligible
for UI benefits from the date of your last final exam up to the date
of your first class in the subsequent term. Click here to read more if you have any of the following questions:

EDD DEBIT CARDS FOR UI BENEFITS
I've heard that EDD is now issuing debit cards instead of checks. Is that true?
Yes, in 2011, the EDD completed the transition from paper to plastic. Instead of delivering Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefit payments by check, EDD is now issuing the EDD Debit CardSM. Once you have received your card, you will have the option for a direct deposit transfer. For more information about the EDD Debit CardSM, click here.
