Hi, I just wrote a thank you note in the comments box because you guys gave good information and I won so thank you again. My question now is that I just started online classes. and I haven't reported on the claim form, what should I do I am going to class online so that shouldn't be a problem right and how would I get that claim form signed if I am going to school online.



Hi Ashley,

I guess I need to first direct you to the benefit determination guide. Here it is.

The section to explore would be "Able and Available".

You are suppose to report that you are going to school to the EDD. They ask the question .. I would think, on the continuing claim form.

I believe it creates a situation where the state schedules an interview to determine whether attending school online or any way is interfering with your availability for work.

Because this is generally considered a claimant's issue only and employer's only get involved when they "hear" or suspect you might be attending school by sending an information letter to the state .. my knowledge is limited with regard to what a state may consider a "restriction of your availability".

This is something you all need to share with each other Ashley .. when you find out.

And we are very glad we could play a part in helping you to get benefits:)
