Employment Development Department Information

When you turn to us, we have a program that can help you reach your goals. From time to bond with your newborn, some cushion to find a job after being laid off, the resources to focus on your recovery after being injured, to the guidance and support that can help you manage a successful business in California, we’ll help you get there. The EDD serves millions each year through our dedicated programs and services and is available to all Californians. This includes unemployment and disability benefits, Paid Family Leave, workforce services and more! Our page is dedicated to providing you with timely news and information about our Department.
