If I take a three month temp job, will I lose my unemployment benefits - California?

I'm in this position right now. You will get your benefits recalculated while you are working as a temp. If your weekly earnings are $100 or less, the first $25 does not count. The amount of earnings over $25 is subtracted from your weekly benefit amount and you are paid any difference. Also, when the temp job ends, you won't need to refile your claim. If you earn over $101, the first 25% does not count. The amount of earnings is subtracted from your weekly benefit amount and you are paid any difference. EDD pays me $12 per week plus the $25 stimulus, for a total of $74 in EDD benefits every two weeks.

While you're working, your benefits will be lowered or suspended. If you don't find another job when the temp job ends, you'll be able to get benefits again as long as your claim hasn't expired.

You will be working during that time and you will not receive benefits while you are working. When the temp job is over you will need to make sure that you follow the temp agency's rules on notification and request for reassignment at the end of placements. But other than that you can reopen your older claim.
