    Exclamation Can I Collect UI While Out of the Country if I Am Looking for a Job There

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: CA

    I have been collecting unemployment benefits for a couple months now. I am planning a trip to Equador and will be looking for work with a conservation non-profit while there.

    The non-profit I work with might be an American organization.

    I would like to follow my dreams and work for a non-profit in Equador, but while I'm looking for a job down there, can I still collect UI from California??

    Please help....

    It's unlikely, since you would not be available for work if offered, which is another requirement for UI benefits. But only the EDD can say for certain.

    I should probably talk to EDD about it but I would be continuously looking for work and available for work in Equador.

    Do I have to be available for work in America?

    Ask the EDD, but I seriously doubt that they will consider being available for work in Equador to satisfy the requirements. After all, you're expecting the state of CA to send you the benefits; it's logical that they would expect you to be available to work there, not in a place where employers would not know to call you.
