Are state employees eligible to receive unemployment insurance benefits as a result of the furloughs?
As a result of the expanded furlough, State employees are inquiring about filing and qualifying for unemployment insurance benefits. In fact, State employees are circulating e-mails with statements that they will all qualify for certain benefits by completing and submitting appropriate claim forms. However, these employee-circulated emails contain misinformation about two different unemployment insurance programs, known as the Work Sharing and Partial Programs. These are both employer initiated programs, and the State of California does not participate in either one. Updated January 4, 2010 at 1:44 PM.
