Unemployment insurance help | Medical benefits for summer

Upcoming Unemployment Insurance Workshop

Tuesday, May 24, 2:00-3:30 pm
Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87472184212?pwd=Sks2ZzF1Vmd3M0doek9nZGdqN24wZz09

Whether it’s your first time or fiftieth time applying for unemployment benefits, the process can be confusing, frustrating and intimidating. But your union is here to help you understand your rights and demystify the application process!

Join us for a step-by-step overview of the application, the benefits you’ve earned, and how to answer some of the obtuse questions on the form. Special bonus: Valarie Bachelor from CFT will be with us to share her knowledge and experience. Not to be missed!

And for the first time ever (sadly) we will have a breakout room specifically for Full Time Faculty who have received layoff notices and want to learn more about how this all works.

Remember, ALL Part-Time Faculty can file for unemployment when you experience a reduction in work. So PT Librarian, Counselors, Coaches, etc can file and should file for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits.

We have many resources available to you any time at our Unemployment page.


Medical Insurance for Summer

Part-time faculty who have medical insurance through CCSF in spring semester keep those benefits for the summer. Benefits continue through the end of August even if we don’t have summer or fall assignments. This isn’t an extra or a gift – we paid for it. Since many part-timers don’t have summer work, deductions for summer are taken out of spring paychecks.

For full-time faculty who received pink slips, benefits continue through the end of June. If you are reassigned, we want to make sure there is no gap in coverage. Please let Malaika know ASAP what your assignment will be, and the load. (mfinkels@aft2121.org)

You can find more information on our benefits page. For anyone who needs to look for medical insurance outside of CCSF, here is an overview of some useful resources.
