Resources For Bitwise Employees After Sudden Furlough

SACRAMENTO – Following the furloughing of hundreds of employees, Assemblyman Jim Patterson wants Bitwise employees to know that his office is available to help walk them through the process of filing for unemployment during this very difficult time.

Bitwise employees should file for unemployment at https://edd.ca.gov/en/unemployment/ and complete the identity verification process.

Those who need help filing a claim, have a delay accessing benefits or questions about the process should not hesitate to call Assemblyman Patterson’s Fresno office at 559-446-2029.

A staff member will reach out to EDD on behalf of the employee to provide timely, accurate information.

The process to file for unemployment may be faster now than it was during the pandemic. During that time, Assemblyman Patterson’s office helped more than 3,000 people seeking benefits.
