d. 2. Registration of UI claimants with the State’s employment service if required by State law;
Current Narrative:
The California Unemployment Insurance Code (CUIC) Section 1253(b) and the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Section 1253(b)1 requires UI claimants unless exempt, to register for work within 21 days after filing a UI claim.
When an individual files a UI claim, the EDD mails a Notice of Requirement to Register for Work letter to the UI claimant. The letter informs a UI claimant of their requirement to enter a resume in CalJOBS℠, and includes the address and telephone number of their local AJCC. Additionally, the notice advises that failure to comply may result in denial of UI benefits. The UI claimant can walk-in or call the local AJCC for technical support on entering a resume on CalJOBS℠.
The EDD automatically starts an account in CalJOBS℠ for all new UI claimants and generates notices to claimants that fail to enter a resume within 21 days. These notices require claimants to attend a PJSA workshop at a local AJCC. This workshop is designed to connect UI claimants with employment services available through the AJCC, including entering a resume in CalJOBS℠, if not previously done, and to respond to questions about their work search. Failure to attend the PJSA will result in a scheduled eligibility determination by UI staff.
