School Employer Advisory Committee

The Unemployment Insurance Technical Subcommittee serves under the direction of the SEAC. The members represent California’s school employer community and the EDD. The subcommittee meets quarterly to discuss the Claims Management System, new laws, and court decisions affecting the SEF and the Unemployment Insurance (UI) program. This group and our EDD SEF program plan the annual School Employer UI Seminar.
