Your gross wages are required (total without the payroll deductions) and the EDD will figure the amount of wages to deduct from your weekly benefit amount. A total of $25 or 25 percent of those earnings, whichever is higher, is not considered deductible from your benefits. Any wages beyond that will be deducted from your weekly benefit amount and you will be paid the difference, if any. In other words, they reduce your normal UI benefits by 75% of earned income. So, for the example you gave, your weekly benefit would be reduced to: $200 - ($100 x 75% = $75) = $125 weekly benefit. Per the California website:

You will ALWAYS earn more if you are working, than if you aren't. Go to http://www.edd.ca.gov
