Lost your job? City of LA offering free live seminars on filing for unemployment + health insurance (*NEW SCHEDULE*)
Updated June 26, 2020 to reflect new schedule***
Have you been laid off, furloughed, or had your hours reduced due to the COVID-19 outbreak? The City of Los Angeles Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD) is here to help you through this transition. Every weekday, EWDD is holding virtual orientation seminars to guide you through applying for unemployment, health insurance, and other available resources.
Seminars are free to attend with RSVP, and offered weekdays in both English and Spanish. In addition to the support you’ll get with your applications during this session, signing up also automatically adds you to EWDD’s network. That means you’ll be the first to learn about — and gain access to — other resources they offer, both now and in the future.
About these virtual “Rapid Response Orientation” seminars
These sessions are orientations for EWDD’s Rapid Response program, which supports both employees and businesses through many types of transitions.
During the seminar, EWDD will demonstrate the Unemployment Insurance Benefits process, and also review health care options and other supportive resources. Sessions last about 25-30 minutes, and there will be a Q&A session at the end of each one.
