My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: CA
Hello, thank you in advance for your answers.
I am going to become unemployed in the next 2 weeks and had planned on applying for UI. Unfortunately a serious medical issue has arisen with a parent living abroad that will require me to go abroad to act as care giver for a period of about 6 weeks. I've read that being abroad would make ineligible for UI.
Question 1: Does EDD make any allowance to claim UI from abroad in the case of acting as care-giver to parent ?
Question 2: Would Paid Family Leave (PFL) be a better option for me to pursue whilst acting as care-giver ?
Question 3: Could I apply for regular UI when I'm back in the US after the care giving period ?
Thanks
