Documenting the Unemployment of the Principal Earner

[WIC 11201]

To support a determination that deprivation is due to the unemployment of the child's parent(s), the principal earner (PE) must submit one of the following:

Statement from Employer

The PE and employer can complete the Request for Information on Termination of Employment (SCD 549-B), or the employer can provide a statement that includes:

  • Hours worked,
  • Last day of work,
  • Reason for termination, and
  • Any work offered. 

Statement from Employment Development Department (EDD)

A statement from the EDD includes:

  • Notice of Computation, UIB (DE 429D)
  • Notice of Unemployment Insurance Award (DE 429Z)
  • IEVS abstract/UIB match.

The Work Number (TWN)

Social Services Benefits Specialists (SSBSs) may use TWN to verify client employment information. However, the PE must be contacted and informed of the income information obtained through TWN before this information can be used, so that the PE may evaluate the accuracy of the information.

Refer to Common Place Handbook The Work Number (TWN) and Truv for more information.
