Commission Only Job Can I receive Benefits when I receive to pay?

by Phil

I have recently started a all commission based job as a loan officer in CA. I have been receiving benefits for unemployment. So far I have not earned a commission so I have not been paid. Can I still receive benefits for the weeks that I have not been paid for? Do I check the box number 6 Did you work or earn money whether you were paid or not? Yes or No? Once I do get paid, can I still receive unemployment after the first paycheck? I may only get paid once in 2 months. It all depends on how many borrowers go through with their loan. I was told at the EDD local office, but I want to make sure, that I can receive EDD again the next week as long as I did not get paid. Will the second extension be honored with this type of work?



Hi Phil,

How about you tell me how many hours a week you are working as a loan officer?

I think this is important .. considering that you can't receive benefits .. even a partial benefit if you are working full-time.
