After you apply for benefits, we’ll mail you some important documents in about two weeks.

While you’re waiting for this mail, 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 fail to post your resume in CalJOBS (or update an existing CalJOBS resume), your benefit payments might stop.

If you need help, watch How to Register for CalJOBS and Post a Résumé (YouTube).
