Federal and State governments and worker advocates have posted on-line information to help unemployed and uninsured workers.

Through the combined efforts of government agencies and worker advocates, new information to help unemployed and/or uninsured workers find and receive assistance has been posted on-line.

The federal government has created an excellent interactive website outlining the provisions of the Obama Administration’s new health care reform law. The site tailors information for a worker’s specific circumstances and location. It can be found at: www.healthcare.gov.

Additionally, the Safety Net for the Unemployed Workgroup, a coalition of human service, labor, state department staff, and legislative staff, has produced a very useful document with a long list of resources for laid off workers whose benefits have exhausted. The document also describes the 2-1-1 assistance line that can direct people to various appropriate resources.
This document can be found at: www.edd.ca.gov/unemployment/pdf/Assistance_For_Unemployed_Californians.pdf.
