CA’s website says “Those that have served in the military for the last 18 months and become unemployed should call the EDD immediately for UI benefits.”
I was stationed here in CA but didn’t pay any state taxes until I was medically retired last summer (I still live here). I know nothing about how unemployment works except you can get a max of ~$400 a week. Anyone try this?

The UCX Program provides unemployment insurance protection to ex-servicemembers of all ranks who served in the Armed Forces of the United States and who meet the following eligibility criteria:
You were on active duty with a branch of the U.S. military. You may be entitled to benefits based on that service.
You must have been separated under honorable conditions.
There is no payroll deduction from your wages for unemployment insurance protection. Benefits are paid for by the various branches of the military.
Your state employment office handles unemployment compensation. Benefits vary from state to state. Only the office where you apply will be able to tell you the amount and duration of your entitlement. Your nearest state unemployment office can be found in your local telephone directory. To receive unemployment compensation, you must apply.
To apply, you must bring your Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD Form 214), your social security card, and your military and/or civilian job history or resume.

FWIW, I was denied UI upon being medically retired. (PDRL at 90%) The reason was UI requires availability and the ABILITY to work. Depending on your state, you may have to apply and interview for jobs in order to receive any benefits.
