Will I lose unemployment if I apply for college? At what point do I lose unemployment if I applied for grad school? I'm in California and I haven't received the admission decision yet.  



I understand that if I am currently taking classes then I'm no longer eligible for unemployment.  However, I'm not clear on when I will lose unemployment if I apply. Will I lose my unemployment once I get admitted and accept the offer (4 months prior to the start of classes), or when I begin attending it (i.e. first day of class)?  Because I don't know IF I'll get accepted, and if I do I'm not certain I'll attend (that depends on the financial aid I'll receive)
