    Default Restarting or Continuing Unemployment Benefits After Summer School in California

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: California

    I am starting a short, on-site summer school class at a local university that takes place during the day. The class runs for less than 6 weeks. Will I be able to restart my unemployment benefits after the 6-week term ends, or do I become ineligible for future unemployment once I begin classes?

    I'm operating off the assumption that after the EDD interview, I'll still be able to collect unemployment benefits if the class does not interfere with my job search. But just in case, I'm wrong, I want to know if this means that I won't be able to collect benefits once the class is over.

    Thank you.

    If you're simply taking a class, but will be continuing your job search throughout and are willing to drop your class if you get a job, taking a class should not affect your continued benefits.

    That varies by state. Michigan, for example, sees that class as time you are not available for work (they want you available 24/7/365). Even if the class will benefit you, make you more employable.....

    I don't think there's any state, though, where she would not be able to restart her claim once the class is over, regardless of whether she is able to collect benefits for the six weeks she is taking it.
