Workers compensation is not classified as earned income and is not taxed in any state according to workers compensation insurance.com.
Unemployment benefits are subject to federal income tax not California income tax.
According to California Tax Service Center CA.GOV:
Unemployment insurance (UI) provides temporary payments to individuals who are unemployed through no fault of their own. It is an employer-paid tax.
Unemployment insurance benefits are taxable income for federal purposes but are not taxable by the State of California.
In order to determine taxable income each January, the EDD sends a Form 1099-G to each individual for the total unemployment insurance benefits paid during the prior year. If you don't receive your Form 1099-G by mid-February, you may call EDD at (800) 795-0193 to get another copy. For more information, see IRS Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.

∙ 13y agoAmounts you receive as workers' compensation for an occupational sickness or injury are fully exempt from tax if they are paid under a workers' compensation act or a statute in the nature of a workers' compensation act. The exemption also applies to your survivors. The exemption, however, does not apply to retirement plan benefits you receive based on your age, length of service, or prior contributions to the plan, even if you retired because of an occupational sickness or injury.
If part of your workers' compensation reduces your social security or equivalent railroad retirement benefits received, that part is considered social security (or equivalent railroad retirement) benefits and may be taxable. For a discussion of the taxability of these benefits, see Other Income under Miscellaneous Income, later.

∙ 9y agoYou do not have to pay federal income tax in any state for worker's compensation disability checks. These payments are completely non-taxable. This is why the payment for disability from worker's compensation is generally around 70% or your normal salary up to the state limit in your area. The other 30% would be in place of normal income tax.

Workers comp settlement during divorce I received half of my ex husbands workers comp settlement as part of our divorce Do I need to claim this on my taxes?
The general rule would be that a settlment that is to replace income (compared to reimbursing for a loss of something, say eyesight), is taxable income. (Presumably on the grounds that the income it is compensating for would have been taxable, where as reimbursement for a loss wouldn't be). Certainly best to see the specifics of this settlement. I don't believe the fact half of it is assigned to you is really relevant.
