TASTY TAKE-OUT FOR TRYING TIMES

APRIL 10, 2020

Which local restaurants offer delivery and takeout options during shelter-in-place order?

2

WEATHERING THE STORM Most restaurants throughout South Valley and

San Benito County are open for take-out or delivery.

T

he closure of dine-in restaurants during the shelter-in-place order in Santa Clara and San Benito counties has hurt those local establishments that rely heavily on foot traffic to stay in business.

Many restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and others are now counting on the public to support them through take-out or delivery orders.

The following is a list of South Valley and San Benito County establishments that offer take-out or delivery options.

This list was compiled by information from the Gilroy Downtown Business Association, the “Gilroy Take-Out and Delivery Options Amid COVID-19” Facebook page, Morgan Hill Restaurants Open for Take-Out Orders website and the San Benito County Chamber of Commerce.

Information is subject to change, and not all restaurants offering these options may be on the list.

California Employment Development Department

UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND The Employment Development Department is experiencing a massive

influx of unemployment claims.

How to file for unemployment Claims skyrocket in California

Requirements to file a claim When filing for UI benefits, you must have earned enough wages during the base period to establish a claim, which is at least $1,300 over the last four calendar quarters.

You must also be: • Totally or partially unemployed.

• Unemployed through no fault of your own.

• Physically able to work.

• Available for work.

• Ready and willing to accept work immediately.

• Actively looking for work.

Needed information The online unemployment filing system can be found at edd.ca.gov/ Unemployment/UI_Online.htm.

After registering for an account with an email, name and other information, the EDD will ask for the following information to file a claim: • Last employer information including company name, supervisor’s name, address (mailing and physical location) and phone number • Last date worked and the reason you are no longer working • Gross earnings in the last week you worked, beginning with Sunday and ending with your last day of work • Information on all employers you worked for during the past 18 months, including name, address (mailing and physical

How long will it take for my claim to make it through the process?

When an unemployed worker files a claim, the process typically takes about three weeks from filing to the EDD making benefit payments to eligible workers. Claim processing will take additional time and require EDD to ask for further information from a worker if: 1.The information submitted does not match wage records; 2. A worker’s identity cannot be verified.

Examples of situations where a claim could be delayed include a

To ensure the fastest processing possible, use the UI Checklist for collecting the information necessary to apply for benefits and apply through the EDD’s UI Online from your personal computer or mobile phone.

Are there changes to the application?

Workers applying for unemployment benefits are now asked to check the options on the application’s dropdown menu that indicate the Coronavirus is the reason for your unemployment or reduced wages.

What if I need additional assistance?

If you need assistance in completing the application, you can find your local America’s Job Center of California and call to set up a phone appointment with EDD’s Workforce Services staff.

• Work2Future Gilroy Job Center: 408.758.3339 • San Benito County America’s Job Center of California: 831.637.5627 Recently, Gov. Gavin Newsom joined Bitwise Industries and the Kapor Center to launch OnwardCa.org, a new platform connecting displaced California workers with more than 70,000 job opportunities in critical industries.

“We know there are many Californians who are really struggling to provide for their families because of the massive economic impact created by the Coronavirus,” said EDD Director Sharon Hilliard. “Unemployment benefits provide critical financial support and the EDD is employing all means necessary to get benefit payments out to those in need.”

In California, the Employment Development Department processed 186,809 UI claims for the week ending March 21, about a 363 percent increase over the previous year.

During the prior week, the EDD processed 57,606 UI claims.
