no – you can only get unemployment benefits in the state where you earned them
Yes. Contact Unemployment they will help set you up. I’d keep claiming inline in Hawaii have direct deposit set up ASAP. Hawaii may pay your Benefit the whole time until you find work in CA. call them they will help you.
You can apply but your benefits will come from your state that you were employed in.
Yes. When applying for unemployment in California. and winning your case. You will receive your payments form the State of Hawaii Treasury.
