Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I am an Oregon resident (driver's license, health insurance, car registration etc) but I've been living and working in California for the past year. I find myself currently unemployed and wanted to apply for unemployment while I look for a new job - am I shooting myself in the foot by applying in CA, since that would alert them to the fact that I haven't transfered residencies over?

Any guidance is appreciated. I don't HAVE to have the unemployment so if it would make my situation worse (or force me to reregister as a CA resident), then I'll forgo it.

Thanks for your help,

RG

You are not an Oregon resident if you don't live there. You are committing a large number of administrative violations and probably a few crimes by doing what you are doing. You should clean up your residency records, and then go ahead and apply for unemploymentt.
