You may have specific rights, depending on how you lost your job. Here are answers to some of most common concerns faced by newly unemployed workers.
Unemployment Insurance ("UI") benefits provide income to workers who are temporarily unemployed or whose work hours have been reduced to a very low level. To be eligible, you must have lost work or wages through no fault of your own. You are almost always eligible for benefits if you were laid off due to lack of work, and you may even be eligible if you were fired or if you quit. You must also meet certain criteria, such as a requirement that you must be looking for another job. The California Employment Development Department (EDD) administers California's UI program. For more detailed information on Unemployment Insurance (UI), please see our Fact Sheets UI Benefits—An Overview, UI: Ability to Work, UI: Availability to Work, UI: Eligibility After Being Fired from a Job, UI: Eligibility After Quitting a Job, UI: Overpayments, UI: Partial Employment and Reporting Earnings, UI: Past Earnings Requirements/Weekly Benefit Amount, UI: Temporary Workers, and UI: Work Search and Suitable Work. Also contact the EDD at www.edd.ca.gov or call 1 (800) 300-5616.
You can apply for benefits by phone, but the lines are often busy and you may be on hold for hours before reaching an operator. If you have internet access, we recommend that you apply online via the EDD's website at https://eapply4ui.edd.ca.gov. Applying online is much faster, and provides you with written confirmation of your application. Most libraries and many community centers provide computers with free internet access.
To make the process smoother, we recommend that you gather all the necessary information before starting your application. See the EDD's checklist—"Before You Start: Information you need to file a UI claim".
After submitting your application, the EDD may schedule you for a phone interview. This is a standard part of the process, so don't be intimidated. You should be prepared to clearly explain how you left your most recent job and why it wasn't your fault. You should also be prepared to verify that you have been actively seeking work. It's a good idea to keep a record of your efforts to find a job, and a list of all the jobs you have applied for.
If the EDD ultimately denies your claim for benefits, you'll have 20 days to appeal the denial. Don't be intimidated about appealing; denials by the EDD are reversed nearly half the time. Keep your written appeal short and concise, and don't miss the appeal deadline.
Can I continue the health insurance I had while employed?
If you had health insurance through your job, you are probably able to continue that coverage under the federal "Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act," also known as "COBRA" (for employers with 20 or more employees) or Cal-COBRA (for employers with 2 to 20 employees). Under COBRA and Cal-COBRA, if you lost your job or if your hours were reduced you likely can buy that same group health coverage for yourself and your family for a limited period of time (usually 18 months) if you pay your employer's cost of providing the benefits. If you are entitled to COBRA or Cal-COBRA coverage, your employer must notify the health plan administrator, which will then notify you of your eligibility and provide instructions for signing up for continued coverage. Please see our Fact Sheet titled "Health Insurance after Employment: COBRA," for more information on whether you and your family members, dependants, spouses, or domestic partners are covered under COBRA or Cal-COBRA.
For more information you can also call the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA): 866-444-3272.
Can my employer fire me because of my age?
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act forbid employers from discriminating based on an employee's age. If you are at least 40 years old, you are protected by these laws.
During a time of layoffs, your employer cannot intentionally single you (or a group of people) out for unequal treatment because you 40 years of age or older. However, even a supposedly "neutral" layoff policy can still be illegal if it disproportionately affects persons over 40. See our Fact Sheet Employment Discrimination for additional information on age discrimination, including how to file a claim of age discrimination against your employer.
Can my employer ask me to sign a "release" in exchange for a severance payment?
Sometimes employers ask employees to sign a release giving up their claims, including discrimination claims, under federal or state laws in exchange for a severance payment. Such releases are normally enforceable, and it is up to you to decide whether it's better for you to pursue a claim (if you think you have one) or accept the severance payment. If you are 40 years old or older and your employer asks you to release your age discrimination claim in exchange for a severance payment, you may have special protections under the Older Worker's Benefit Protect Act (OWBPA) that ensure that older workers are not unduly pressured into waiving their age discrimination rights. (See our Fact Sheet Severance Pay: Release of Legal Claims for more information).
Can my employer lay me off without any advance notice?
500 employees are laid off during a 30-day period, no matter how large the workforce; or an entire work site is closed down and at least 50 employees are laid off during a 30-day period.
If your employer fails to provide sufficient WARN Act notice, you may be owed the back pay and benefits that you would have earned during that 60 days as if the layoff had not occurred. There are many rules and exceptions under the WARN Act, so please see our Fact Sheet WARN Act—Mass Layoffs or Business/Plant Closings for additional information.
What are my rights if my employer declares bankruptcy?
If your employer has filed for bankruptcy, it means the company has asked the court to help it either plan a repayment schedule ("Chapter 11" bankruptcy) or sell off all its property and use the money to pay off the creditors ("Chapter 7" bankruptcy). Each individual employee of a bankrupt business is given a priority as a creditor of up to $11,725 (as of 2010, and adjusted every three years thereafter). However, secured creditors, such as banks for commercial lenders who are entitled to repossess property if payments are missed, have higher priority. To protect your rights as a creditor of your bankrupt employer, you should find out the county where the company field the bankruptcy petition and call the clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court for that county. Ask the clerk how to submit a "Proof of Claim" form, which is the form that the court uses to determine how much money to give you. For more information on your rights in company bankruptcy or sale information, see our Fact Sheet Employer Bankruptcy, Sale, or Abandonment.

Toledo's Autonomous Shuttle Program Stalls a Year On
Despite securing a $1.8 million federal air-quality grant last year, the Ohio region's transit authority is slowing down on plans to pilot autonomous people movers in the city later this year.

(TNS) — Last summer, the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority made a big splash at a local transportation-technology seminar by announcing it had secured a $1.8 million federal grant to support development of a self-driving shuttle bus in downtown Toledo.
But while its goal was to have the pilot program testing in the city sometime this year, the project has yet to get out of the garage.

"The technology for this program isn't moving forward as quickly as was originally anticipated so the project is on hold for now," Amy Mohr, the transit authority's spokesman, said last week.
Etienne Hermite, the new chief executive officer of Navya — the French company with a Saline, Mich. plant whose shuttle prototype was displayed during the "Technology Takes the Wheel" program June 21, 2018 at the University of Toledo — used similar language in a statement posted July 25 to the Business Wire news service in which he explained why the company's progress in developing its autonomous vehicles was slowing down and it was branching out into becoming a technology supplier to others. Navya also reduced revenue targets announced previously in an initial public offering.
"The market is still in an experimentation phase, as complete autonomy has not yet been achieved, the regulatory framework has yet to be uniformly established and economic models are continuing to evolve," Mr. Hermite said. "We have decided to adapt our business model: thus, we will now provide our technology to industrials who want to make their vehicles autonomous (goods and passengers transport). Thanks to this new orientation, I am convinced that the teams' commitment and our technological leadership will be decisive assets that will enable us to seize market opportunities and make NAVYA a world leader in autonomous driving systems".
James Gee, TARTA's general manager at the time, said one day before Navya's announcement that the transit authority was still working on its project, but that it might go in a new direction.
"We have an operating grant in hand for improving air quality for $1.8 million dollars that is to be slated for the autonomous vehicle project," said Mr. Gee, who was suspended July 25 and then terminated a week later, officially because of job performance but also shortly after his arrest on a drunken driving charge. "We are working with FTA [the Federal Transit Administration] on other grant opportunities and how to leverage this grant to make the project move forward."
TARTA is not on the hook for any money because it didn't actually receive the grant funds.
The grant was from a Federal Highway Administration air-quality program that would have applied to the electric vehicles TARTA expected Navya to develop for the operation. But the funds are locally distributed by the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments and had only been designated for TARTA, not paid, said Krystal Freyre, another authority spokesman.
That wasn't going to happen until the Federal Transit Administration approved the program, and that approval has been drawn out because the transit administration's standards don't yet include any provision for autonomous vehicles.
"The Federal Transit Administration ... is continuing to work with TARTA to determine the eligibility of TARTA's proposed autonomous bus project for federal funding and to ensure that the project complies with federal requirements," an agency spokesman said in response to a query about the project's funding.

Q: How to "notify" parent window about "scroll event" of child window "list box" control in WIN32 API? How to "notify" the parent window about the "scroll event" of its child window, a "list box" control, each time it is scrolled up or down in WIN32 API?
I am trying to make a dictionary using the WIN32 API. I created a parent window, and then created a child window list box control in it.
I want to add "50 word lists" at a time to the list box control from the database, so that the application does not take time at all during the start up.
And then, I want to keep a track of the "scroll bar position" (the "SCROLLINFO" structure's "nPos" value) of the list box control as the user scrolls up or down the word lists, so that I can call a function that adds 50 more words at the end of the list box when it has been almost scrolled up to the bottom.
In the main window procedure function, inside the "switch" statement I used the "WM_VSCROLL" window message hoping to catch the child window list box control's scroll event. The child window list box control has "LBS_NOTIFY" style. But all in vain! The list box control's scroll event is not being notified to its parent window. The parent window also is not doing anything in the "WM_VSCROLL" message for its child window list box control's scroll event.
Please kindly help me, guide me, show me with code examples how to "notify" the parent window about the "scroll event" of its child window, a "list box" control, each time it is scrolled up or down in WIN32 API.

A: Scrolling messages are only sent to the window that is actually being scrolled, in this case the ListBox.  LBS_NOTIFY only applies to a few select messages, which do not include scrolling messages. You would have to subclass the ListBox via either SetWindowLongPtr(GWL_WNDPROC) or SetWindowSubclass() and have your subclass procedure catch the scrolling messages and forward the info to the parent window as needed.

Hyannis Rotary joins CT 'Million Mask Challenge' Barnstable first responders, nonprofits receive free masks
Michael White, president of the Rotary Club of Hyannis, saw an opportunity to address a community need, and he leaped on it.
Rotary's district governor (who oversees 50 clubs in the region from Rhode Island to just south of Boston) recently announced receipt of a grant of 140,000 masks designated for first responders and workers providing essential services during the COVID pandemic.
White managed to get 10,000 of those masks for distribution in Barnstable and nearby areas.
Soon, a committee of dedicated club members (Paul Gandillot, Bob Bourque, Cy Nelson, John Reed, Dave Bisbee, and Conrad Thamm) was busy delivering boxes of masks to numerous organizations.
Ultimately, 18 area organizations received these masks. Both the Barnstable Police and the Cape Cod Symphony kept some of the masks and distributed others in a drive-through Trick or Treat event at the end of October.
Also receiving masks were Champ Homes; the Cape Cod Challenger Club; the YMCA; the Cape Cod Council of Churches including their programs Faith Family Kitchen and A Baby Center; the Federated Church of Hyannis; the Dennis-Yarmouth Schools; Independence House; the Yarmouth Food Pantry; and three Fire Departments (COMM, Hyannis and Barnstable Village).
The grant of masks – called the "Million Mask Challenge" – was made possible by a donation from the Rossi Family Foundation, one of whose board members, Ted Rossi, is a Connecticut Rotarian. Initially, 200,000 masks were distributed in Connecticut, and then a truck loaded with 800,000 masks made deliveries to rotary districts in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. At each stop, Rotary clubs mobilized to fulfill the promise of the grant, distributing masks to first responders and essential workers throughout the Northeast.
District 7950's District Governor Charlene Jarest praised Ted Rossi, the Rossi Foundation, and all the Rotarians involved in mobilizing this effort.
"All the recipients of the masks," Jarest said, "will be in a safer place because of this."
Southern Connecticut's district governor, Dr. Jack Solomon, said "The Rotary Million Mask Challenge is based on the premise that Rotarians are people of action. With this as our guide," he said, "we guarantee that each and every PPE received is delivered to community-based first responders and essential workers."
Rotary clubs and their members are uniquely situated for such challenges. "Service above self" is the Rotary motto, and Rotarians, with their deep community and business networks, are always looking for ways to support people in their area. "We invite members of our community who share our values to join us," said White.
Rotary International is a global organization, comprising more than 33,000 clubs and 1.3 million members around the world, often partnering with governments and other organizations to tackle both local and international challenges. Perhaps most famous for its campaign to End Polio, Rotary International carries on its work in myriad ways.

Congress is now considering funding levels for federal programs for fiscal year (FY) 2019. Scientists interested in the National Science Foundation (NSF) should consider contacting their Senators to ask that they sign a Dear Colleague letter lead by Senator Markey (D-MA). The letter requests Congress provide NSF with $8.45 billion in FY 2019.
NSF is the primary federal funding source for fundamental biological research at our nation's universities and colleges. The agency provides approximately 68% of extramural federal support for non-medical, fundamental biological research at academic institutions.
The proposed funding level of $8.45 billion would allow NSF to expand support for early career researchers and to create new interdisciplinary research programs. Moreover, this investment would sustain existing research and education programs that are vital to U.S. competitiveness.
Interested individuals can send a letter to their Senators from the AIBS Legislative Action Center.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has sent a memorandum to its employees listing talking points on climate change to serve as guidelines to promote a message of uncertainty about climate science, according to a report by the Huffington Post. The memo, which was leaked on 28 March, was sent from EPA's Office of Public Affairs with the subject line "Consistent Messages on Climate Adaptation".
Another point mentions "clear gaps remain including our understanding of the role of human activity and what we can do about it". "As a key regulatory voice, it is important for the Agency to strive for a better understanding of these gaps given their potential significant influence on our country's domestic economic viability," reads a third point.
The memo comes days after Administrator Pruitt announced the agency's plans to restrict the use of science in informing regulations, by barring the use of research for which raw data has not been made public.
There were also reports of censorship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) late last year, when news outlets reported that budget officials within the Department of Health and Human Services indicated that specific words and concepts, including "science-based" and "evidence-based", should not be used in the agency's fiscal year 2019 budget proposal. The public outcry to these reports prompted the then director to make a public announcement that the agency would not avoid these terms.
Dr. Robert Redfield has been named the new director for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar. The position does not require Senate confirmation. The announcement came on March 21, 2018, a couple of months after former CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald resigned from the position because of her myriad conflicts of interest arising from her failure to divest from investments in tobacco and healthcare companies.
Redfield, a virologist and professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, has an extensive background in HIV/AIDS research. He manages clinical programs at the Institute for Human Virology that offer HIV care in the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore region, as well as on an international scale under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). He graduated from Georgetown University's School of Medicine and did his residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, after which he served as a researcher in the military.
Although Redfield has an extensive research background, some lawmakers are concerned with his lack of experience in policy and public health. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, wrote a letter to the White House asking the President to reconsider his choice. She also pointed to some past scientific practices and ethics in Redfield's research that were controversial, including his advocacy for widespread AIDS testing and allegations of data misrepresentation, although he was not found guilty of scientific misconduct.
Redfield and the CDC face several significant challenges, including the opioid epidemic, the current spike in influenza, and the significant 43 percent cut to CDC's Public Health Preparedness and Response program proposed by the Trump Administration for FY 2019.
The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology held a hearing on the Budget Proposal for the National Science Foundation (NSF) for Fiscal Year 2019 on 15 March. NSF Director Frances Cordova and National Science Board Chairwoman Maria T. Zuber testified.
Cordova responded by noting that the online description for each NSF award would now include a sentence that the research "reflects NSF's statutory mission", which "is meant to be a pause for every division director to ask whether the research fulfills national needs." However, Smith did not accept her answer. He argued that given the proposed flat FY 2019 budget for NSF, funds should be spent on computing and physical sciences in order to maintain global leadership rather than social and behavioral sciences.
Congress has passed and the President has signed a bipartisan appropriations bill with $1.3 trillion in federal spending for fiscal year (FY) 2018. The House voted 256-167 and the Senate voted 65-32 to approve the bill that distributes funding for the remainder of FY 2018. The omnibus appropriations legislation provides either increased or level spending for science agencies, ignoring the deep cuts proposed by the President.
Congressional leaders announced an agreement late on 21 March after several weeks of negotiations and six months into FY 2018. A majority of environmental riders were dropped from the final bill.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will receive $37 billion, a boost of $3 billion, rejecting the President's proposed 22 percent cut to the agency. The bill includes $1.8 billion (+$414 million) for Alzheimer's research.
The omnibus provides funding increases for many agencies and programs at the Department of the Interior (DOI). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is funded at $1.6 billion (+$75 million) with the legislation prioritizing funding for addressing the endangered species delisting backlog, combating invasive species, preventing illegal wildlife trafficking, and preventing closure of fish hatcheries.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), slated for a 15 percent cut under the President's request, will be funded at $1.1 billion, an increase of $63 million over FY 2017 levels. Funding will be targeted to critical infrastructure investments in natural hazards programs, stream gages, the groundwater monitoring network, and mapping activities. The legislation provides $23 million for early earthquake early warning systems and $26 million for funding the development of "Landsat 9" - a satellite program that provides land use measurements important for agriculture, forestry, energy and water resource decisions. The agency's eight climate science centers will remain functional. The White House had proposed eliminating half of them.
The President's FY 2018 request called for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) budget to be cut by 30 percent. The appropriations bill, however, provides level funding to the agency at $8.1 billion. EPA's regulatory programs will be cut by $23.5 million. Funding for cleanup of Superfund sites will get a $66 million boost. The bill also includes $2.9 billion for Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Loan funds and $63 million for Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act to support for water infrastructure projects. The bill emphasizes the Administration's goal to "rein in outdated, unnecessary and potentially harmful regulations at the EPA" and includes riders prohibiting the agency from regulating lead content of ammunition. EPA's science and technology programs will be supported at a flat budget of $116 million, rejecting the administration's proposed $30.8 million cut to the program.
A report that accompanies the bill indicates that the legislation "does not include any requested funds for workforce reshaping" at the EPA. President Trump's proposal would have allowed EPA to extract about $68 million from various programs for the reshaping effort, to be implemented through buyouts. The bill also limits the agency's reorganization and restructuring efforts to $1 million.
The Energy and Water portion of the spending bill, which funds the Department of Energy (DOE) and Army Corps of Engineers, received $43.2 billion, an increase of $4.7 billion. DOE will receive across the board funding increases, including for research efforts and energy efficiency programs. DOE's Office of Science will see a 16 percent or $800 million funding boost to a record $6.26 billion. An increase of $163 million is targeted for advanced scientific computing research, a priority of the President. The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program, slated for elimination in the President's budget, will receive a record level funding of $353 million (+$47 million).
Agricultural research programs, including the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), will receive $3.03 billion, an increase of $138 million over FY 2017. The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) is funded at $400 million. The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) is funded at $6 billion, with $2.8 billion targeted at wildfire prevention and suppression. The USFS received $6.07 billion in FY 2017.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will be funded at $1.2 billion, $247 million above FY 2017. Core research activities at NIST will receive $725 million, although support for other "lower priority" activities will be reduced.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will receive $5.9 billion, a slight increase of $234 million above FY 2017 level, with the funding prioritized for National Weather Service ($1 billion), fisheries operations ($883 million), weather research, and ocean exploration.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is funded at $20.7 billion, $1.1 billion above the FY 2017 level. This includes $6.2 billion (+$457 million) for NASA Science programs and $4.8 billion (+$466 million) for exploration programs. Funding for the earth science programs will remain flat at 2017 levels.
The Smithsonian Institution will receive $1 billion in funding, an increase of $178 million, allowing all on-going operations to continue.
Two new data initiatives supporting marine resource management have been launched.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) World Conservation Monitoring Center (WCMC) has launched an online library of ocean-related data, called Ocean+Data, to aid in informed decision-making. The library contains 183 data sources, including global marine and coastal datasets, regional datasets, and databases from scientific sources, which can be accessed through customizable searches. The library will support marine spatial planning, environmental impact assessments, ecosystem assessments, and other ocean conservation activities, along with providing educational opportunities for students.
The Asia-Pacific Commission on Agricultural Statistics has launched the Pacific Strategic Plan for Agricultural and Fisheries Statistics (P-SPAFS) to ensure the use of high quality data and statistics in policy decisions relevant to agriculture, fisheries, food security, natural resources, and rural development.

In West Mills (Hardcover)
By De'Shawn Charles Winslow
Published: Bloomsbury Publishing - June 4th, 2019
In West Mills had me hooked as soon as I read the first page. The main character, Knot, has an unapologetic and self-assertive approach to life, which makes her reminiscent of the main protagonists in classic novels such as Kate Chopin's The Awakening and Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes were Watching God. Knot is a force to be reckoned with in her mid-20th century rural North Carolina society, and she deliberately rejects any and all predetermined expectations of a woman. In West Mills explores the intersectionality of race and gender, while also redefining the meaning of the word "family." Winslow's debut novel is a must-read.

Former Irwindale police sergeant arrested on kidnapping and sexual assault charges
By Sarah Favot |
PUBLISHED: March 11, 2014 at 10:12 p.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 9:20 a.m.
IRWINDALE >> Sheriff's deputies arrested a former Irwindale police sergeant on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman during a traffic stop.
David Paul Fraijo was arrested on charges of kidnapping to commit another crime, forcible oral copulation, oral copulation under the color of authority, sexual battery by restraint and assault by a public officer, officials said. The alleged crimes occurred in 2012.
Fraijo, 36, pleased not guilty at an arraignment late Tuesday afternoon in Dept. 30 at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown L.A., according to L.A. County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Jane Robison.
He is being held on $1 million bond.
The alleged assault occurred about 5:15 a.m. Oct. 20, 2012, near Azusa Canyon Road and Arrow Highway, according to a civil lawsuit filed in Superior Court in August by the victim's attorney.
The woman was working, delivering newspapers, when Fraijo, driving a marked police cruiser, stopped her vehicle, according to the complaint.
Fraijo allegedly touched the woman's breasts with his hands and forced the woman to touch and kiss and orally copulate him.
The lawsuit, which requested $20 million in damages, was withdrawn in January by the woman's attorney, Mario Valencia.
The lawsuit was settled and a payment was made by the city to the victim for $400,000, according to a source with knowledge of the case.
Valencia did not return a request for comment Tuesday.
The criminal complaint was investigated by the Sheriff's Department's Internal Criminal Investigations division, which resulted in the arrest Monday.
Officials at the Sheriff's Department Temple Station, where Fraijo was arrested, declined to comment Tuesday.
Fraijo was fired from the police department last February, Irwindale police Chief Anthony Miranda said.
"At that point we were letting the D.A. and the sheriff conduct their investigation, which just completed and resulted in a filing on Fraijo," said Miranda, who was hired to take over the department in December.
"Now we're going to just allow the D.A. to allow the justice system to take its course."
Fraijo faces a maximum penalty of life in state prison for the kidnapping charge and several years in state prison and/or county jail on the other charges.
