You aren't eligible for unemployment while you're still employed.
If you quit, you may have a case in California under the "constructive dismissal" doctrine. I'm not an employment lawyer, but based on minimal searching it seems like a reduction in hours without other acts of hostility/retaliation would probably not qualify. You could call a real lawyer and ask if they have free consultations.
