Can the “be available for work” provision for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits be waived while attending the EEP course?
If an individual is eligible for the Employment Development Department’s (EDD) California Training Benefits (CTB) program, this provision may be waived. Please review the California Training Benefits Program Fact Sheet (http://www.edd.ca.gov/uirep/de8714u.pdf) for more information and eligibility criteria.
