ACIN I-50-09: CalWORKS Referral To EDD For UIB (8/17/09)

Posted on by

A reminder of the appropriate procedures used when referring a CalWORKs applicant or recipient to apply for Unemployment Insurance Benefits (UIB). As part of the county’s duty to assist recipients, CWDs shall help applicants or recipients establishing their eligibility for UIB. In order to avoid useless referrals to EDD, counties are to review the EDD on-line, real-time UIB claims database for wage and claims information via the Income and Eligibility Verification System. In the (unlikely) event that the CWD does not have access to the internet, it can request an abstract of the wage and claim information, via form DE 8720, as described in ACIN I-27-07.

This notice also includes a form that can be used by the CWD to facilitate the referral to EDD. The form tells folks how to apply (and with what information) and a space to show how and when the application was filed. Upon receipt of this document, the applicant or recipient is deemed to have met this condition of eligibility. [Download]
