I’m currently working as a temp in California since January 2026, but my assignment has no definite end date. I was let go in June when they hired a permanent employee, but then they asked me back after that person quit. Since September, my tasks have been reduced, but my hours remain the same, and I still don’t have clarity on when I might be let go again. Recently, I was offered a short 2-3 week contract starting on November 9, which would end before Thanksgiving. My concern is whether leaving my current indefinite temp job for this brief role would affect my unemployment eligibility after the contract ends. I’m worried that EDD might consider it a voluntary quit without good cause, even though the new position would naturally conclude due to the lack of work. I’ve heard that quitting without cause can lead to complications with unemployment claims, and I’m trying to figure out the best course of action.
