The State of California Employment Development Department provides supportive services to individuals affected by COVID-19. If a medical professional says you are unable to work, your hours have been reduced, you are caring for an ill/quarantined family member, or your employer has shut down — you can file a claim. The EDD also developed a Rapid Response Factsheet to provide early intervention assistance to help avert potential layoffs, and immediate on-site services to assist workers facing job losses. 

Small business owners who need help can find helpful information through the City of San José ’s department of Economic Development, including the Small Business Administration’s loan resources.
