Important: If approved for unemployment benefits—even if you have not yet received a payment—you have 21 days from the date on your Notice of Requirement to Register for Work (DE 8405) (PDF) to post your resume in CalJOBS. We will let you know if you don’t have to complete this step. If you don’t post your resume in CalJOBS (or update an existing CalJOBS resume), your benefit payments might stop.
If you prefer talking to someone in person, visit your local America’s Job Center of CaliforniaSM (AJCC). Your local AJCC is a one-stop shop for free job and training services. They connect employers who have job openings with people looking for work.
