After you apply for benefits, we’ll mail you some important documents
in about two weeks.
While you’re waiting, please post your resume in
CalJOBS
. You have
21 days
from the date on your
Notice of Requirement to Register for Work
(DE 8405)
to do so, but there’s no reason to wait. We will let you know if you don’t have to complete this step.
If you move out of California, you must register for job search services and look for work through your new state’s local employment office. Do this right after you move, or you may lose your benefits.
If you fail to post your resume in CalJOBS (or update an existing CalJOBS resume), your benefit payments might stop.
