ATTN: ADJUNCT FACULTY
YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE 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:
Why are adjunct instructors eligible for unemployment benefits?
How do I file for benefits?

Once I start receiving benefits, do I have to fill out any forms?

Do I have to pay income taxes on benefits?
What happens when my benefits run out before I return to work?
What if my claim is denied?
What do I say in my telephone interview?
What should I do if I get an EDD Notice of Potential Overpayment?

THIS AND THAT
Equalized Paychecks for Equalized Distribution of Hours. Payroll currently compensates full-semester hourly assignments by calculating the total number of expected hours at the beginning of the semester, dividing equally by the number of paychecks for the semester (typically five for Fall or Spring), and then multiplying times the faculty member's hourly rate. Note that a mid-semester change to the actual hours taught, resulting from instances such as leaves of absence, co-teaching, medical leaves, substituting, etc., triggers a re-calculation of the hours and their re-distribution for the remainder of the pay periods.

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.
