Questions to ask

  • Which program matches my question?
  • Where can I find the requirements and deadlines?
  • How do I get help with an existing claim?

If this one cannot help

Other starting points for the same need:

  • USAGov job search: Find official job search tools and links to state job banks and American Job Centers.
  • California adult education directory: Find adult education providers, including adult schools, colleges and literacy programs.
  • California Labor Commissioner wage claims: California’s state office for unpaid wages, overtime and missed breaks. File online, by email, by mail or in person. California labor laws protect workers regardless of immigration status. Most wage claims must be filed within 3 years.
