What is Unemployment Insurance Project Notice (UIPN) #05-038?

The Unemployment Development Department (EDD) has recognized that many schools are ‘year round’ and do not fit with the traditional idea of summer being a ‘recess period’ during which no Substitute Teachers are employed.

When you call to start your claim, it is imperative that you tell the EDD representative that you are a ‘Year Round’ Substitute Teacher and to refer to the EDD’s procedures for the year 2004-2005, Unemployment Insurance Project Notice, UIPN# 04-056. (We don’t have a physical copy, but the new UIPN for June 2005 – June 2006 is now 05-038. I think the agreement is essentially the same; the number changes every year.) This will clarify your status as a ‘Year round’ Substitute Teacher who is eligible for work and NOT on recess.
