The state of California Unemployment Insurance Online service is set up to allow residents to access their California unemployment insurance claim information, certify for weekly California unemployment benefits, and manage their CA unemployment claims any time of day. All forms for California Unemployment are also available in Spanish. Residents who are enrolled in Partial or Work Sharing claims can not certify their weekly benefits through this service, and can not open an existing claim through CA UI Online, but they can access all the other important features of this service. California’s Unemployment online site includes options to file weekly certifications, view all past processed unemployment payments, reopen an unemployment claim, schedule a California unemployment appointment, and view/print all tax forms needed. Please note by signing up for California Unemployment alerts, residents can receive instant notification when they’re eligible to file for a new week, when unemployment benefits have been paid, and when they need to update their paperwork.
