Some state unemployment offices provide an option for unemployed workers to apply for unemployment in Spanish as well as in English. Spanish speaking workers may be able to apply for unemployment benefits in Spanish online, via the telephone, by mail or fax, and in some locations in-person.

Information on filing for unemployment benefits is available in Spanish on some state unemployment websites. For example, in California, you can apply for unemployment benefits in Spanish online, over the telephone, by mail, or by fax:

  • Presente su solicitud en línea cuando le sea oportuno, en inglés o en español.
  • Presente su solicitud por teléfono – Comuníquese con nosotros bentre las 8 a.m. y las 5 p.m. de lunes a viernes.
  • Presente su solicitud por correo o vía fax – Utilice nuestro formulario impreso. Favor de leer la información, después imprima la solicitud, escriba a mano sus respuestas y envíelo por correo o vía fax a EDD para su tramitación.

Visit your state unemployment office website for information on applying for unemployment benefits in your location in Spanish. If available, there will be a Spanish language version (En Español) of the website with information on how to apply and a Spanish unemployment application.
