Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions of the Hispanic and Latino community, whose workers, businesses, and leaders help power our communities, industries, and economy. October is also Filipino American History Month, a time to celebrate the history, achievements, and contributions of Filipino Americans in California. EDD supports workers, businesses, veterans, students, and entrepreneurs with employment, workforce development, and benefit services. As California’s workforce changes, we are modernizing our services to make it easier to apply for benefits, get answers, manage claims, and access support. Our goal is to provide a simpler, more secure, and connected experience for all Californians.
