Can a past RMO recieve unemployment compensation
Hello, I recently disassociated myself from a construction company in which I was the RMO (Responsible managing Officer of the corporation). I was given this title about 4 months ago, but the people I am working with are doing nothing with the license and I am only losing money [So I decided to step down before things got worse]
[Question #35 on the California unemployment insurance application says ""Are you now, or have you been in the last 18 months an officer of a corporation or union or the sole or major stockholder of a corporation?"
If I answer yes to this question, will that result in a denial of unemployment benefits for myself.

EDD does not base eligibility for benefits on a job title or even job duties. Generally, a person claiming unemployment benefits (a “claimant”) is eligible for benefits if ALL of the following is true: he or she is (1) unemployed due to no fault of his or her own; (2) physically able to work; (3) actively seeking work; (4) ready to accept work immediately; (5) has received enough wages during the base period to establish a claim; and (6) meets eligibility requirements each week benefits are claimed. An overview of these requirements can be found on the web site of the California Employment Development Department (EDD) http://www.edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/Eligibility.htm.
