EDD - Information

Only individuals who are approved by the Employment Development Department can participate in the California Training Benefits Program (CTB). To be considered for CTB program participation, an individual must be eligible to receive California UI benefits, and notify the EDD as soon as the school or training attendance begins. Once the EDD has been notified, an eligibility interview is scheduled and conducted by EDD staff to gather information to determine if CTB can be approved. CTB may approve the individual to participate if they verify participant and the training program is authorized by one of the following and meets all eligibility criteria.
