Common Unemployment Benefits Reporting Mistakes Q&A. Residual pay, Pension!!!

[@karinearoyan99]

I love how you explain to the public

[@hankgrover3430]

Hi Lindsey, if I have (part-time) self-employment income in both reporting weeks, and/or make more than $450 in either of those weeks, will I have to reopen my claim? Thanks in advance!

[@gmar7836]

What if you’re not available to work? I’m tired and exhausted. I need time off to rest. I lost my job last week but I had no vacation, so can I wait a few weeks and then file for unemployment? My company is also giving me severance.

[@josevelazquez4879]

Hey Lindsay, quick questions. I stopped working in late February. I never put in an unemployment claim because I was afraid to and uneducated about it. I just recently put in my claim in the beginning of June. I received a response via my online portal and it states that I have a “claim balance” and a “weekly benefit amount”. Here is the question: is it the amount in the claim balance, which is around 11k, what is owed to me? And is the weekly benefit amount what is going to be given to me until I find a new job?

[@tyreebert]

Hi!✨ My question is, what weeks are we getting paid for? **example: I got paid today 6/23. So did I get paid for the weeks (5/25 -6/7) or for the weeks I JUST completed (6/8 - 6/21)? It seems like it’d be more accurate to receive the payment for the 2 weeks prior. Considering I just filed my claim for the past 2 weeks and it seems like it wouldn’t be processed yet.

[@KarlaLopez-sm7oc]

Hey do you get paid every two weeks or have you seen a delayed?? My last payment was 6/7 and haven’t gotten pay again? I though I was getting paid today but nothing.

Does capital gains need to be reported when certifying for my unemployemnt benefits? Reason i ask, with recent stock market volume i have profit on a trade.

It is taxable but only for Federal..not state in California...also depending how much you get and how you are filing...

Can you please elaborate on the last question which you addressed about discontinuing the claims? because I was on a call with VCE Customer support and they mentioned that folks have to notify us when they got the job and share details. they said If doing online then pick the options that says Yes for "did you start the work during week of xx-xx-xxxx"

I see how to enter pension, but I am confused on reporting it. My husband receives a monthly pension from the military. The form says something about only reporting it once.

[@yarddog415245]

Annie can you post a reply on here if you found out anything on your question, thanks

[@lindseydo6303]

As soon as you report the pension in the week that your husband receives it, EDD should stop your claim and do an interview to see if it's deductible. If it is not, they will let you know that you will still get full benefits. Military pension normally isn't deductible but that is just my take. I could be wrong.

[@lil_wooddale44]

I’m paying out of my pocket to go to a small trucking school in CA using my EDD/unemployment benefits. Should I notify them I’m attending school when Im doing my weekly certification? Please answer lol. Will they withhold my benefits until they verify everything?

[@lindseydo6303]

If you are attending school on the normal hours in which you could be working, meaning that if going to school would place restrictions on you accepting work, this will result in a disqualification for edd money. If it does not restrict you from finding the normal work you usually do, or you are still working then you should still get unemployment. Reporting yes on question number 5 would stop your claim until they interview you. Hope this helps.

[@lindseydo6303]

@@lil_wooddale44if you are still looking for work and are ready to accept work in your normal working hours, then you should be qualified. But they might disqualify you for 2 days of work every week and reduce your edd $ because you are not available for work when you are in school.

You must report wages for the 14, 15 n so on if it falls into the week you are trying to claim. Multiply hrs by wage to figure it out.

Hi can you please answer my question 💕^

[@seungvan3497]

Hey so I had another question I’ve been getting pay because I work reduce hours therefore I am eligible for benefit and I’ve been getting paid and I must put all my gross wages. I work at a Publix with reduce hours but Publix handed us 100$ gift cards but the thing is that they took out taxes. For example I work 20 hours get paid 13.85 multiply that and it’s 277 and including the 100$ gift card it’s 377 it’s added to my gross pay. Should I just put 277 or 377? I’m not sure because I had no idea they took out taxes at first and I put in 277 what is going to happen now?

[@greyalien9074]

[@hawkjones4763]

I am not computer savvy but I initially put the wrong amount on my amount of money that I make. Because someone was rushing me on the line and I didn't know. So every time I try to file phase I have insignificant wages. How can I put my proper amount wages on my claim

[@gkt01yahoo]

I have a full-time office job and a part-time job as a server and I put that into the EDD website because both of my jobs popped up when I was first filing my claim and I put in my earnings for the annual term and they approve me for 450. I was still employed at my full-time job at the office position but I was furloughed as a part-time server and then now I'm being called back on a part-time basis for my server position. (Not my full hours) So my question is what I'm certifying for number 6 on the form about the pay and mark the box yes another box opens up with both my jobs listed. I am confused about how answer the full time job question because the option drop down box does not give me the option of not having lost the job and I'm not sure how to fill that box out for the drop-down because none of the drop-down fits my description, because I was never laid off that job I'm not sure how to correctly answer that question do I just put in the box return-to-work benefits not needed for the job that I was not laid off of and is that going to disqualify me for the other part-time server position that I was furloughed and then now not getting my full hours back?

[@zst5055]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@Slb5988]

Hi Lindsey big question not me but if someone is collecting PUA and is making like 300 dollars for driving,Instacart, Postmates will the I r s be able to know if they don’t claim the earnings because I know these tech companies don’t report or do you think eventually they will?

[@OlaundaJohnson]

What if you are self employed and have a store on eBay in which items are still selling but I now have earnings in the negative amount. Like I was paid 100 for ? Shipping included and then it cost me 102 to ship the item, so technically my earnings would be -2.00. How would I put that on form?

[@mobileguyful]

Hi Lindsey, I file for UI claims everyweek here in Utah, I honestly did not know that any vacation time that I take has to be reported on my weekly claims as if I was there at work. Is this true? This is an honest mistake that I did because I did not know. According to the questionaire weekly it ask if i worked 40 hrs I said no because I didn't. 3 of my claims did not match what I reported against what the employer reported. They added on my vacation time as hours worked. Im confused. Please clarify. TY so much.

[@lindseydo6303]

Unfortunately, question 6 ask if you receive earnings whether or NOT you worked. Yes you were supposed to report but if the mistake isnt intentional, edd may let u off the hook n waive the false statements. Be nice to your rep n present your case. Gl

[@boydizza]

Hello Lindsey - Question coming from good old California - Do I need to claim any Stock Sale (Capital Gains) or Crypto Sales (Capital Gains) when certifying for my weekly unemployment benefits. I sold some of my stock shares and crypto shares so I could pay off a loan that was keeping me from expanding my work search. I did not want to just figured if I had less money going out each month perhaps I could take a job that paid a little less to get me by or one that had growth potential and I could work my way back up to a Corporate level position and afford to take what they were offering. Doing this gives me some some breathing room as I find a new job / career due to Corporate Office I was working for going under due to the Pandemic. I did have the fiat from those sales transferred to my bank account and I did indeed pay off the loan. (Feels Good). I know that I will be paying short term capital gains tax on both the Stock and the Crypto I sold since I did not have it for longer then a year when I file my 2021 taxes. I just did not want to get into and legal trouble with the California EDD by not claiming that I received that amount of money on one of my weeks weekly certifications. I cannot seem to find a solid accurate answer and many other answers online are very confusing. I am totally okay with not receiving benefits for the week I sold. I just cannot afford to be disqualified completely till I find another job or get stuck paying back a portion. I would hate to have something happen that made me go backwards when I am working so hard to move forward. Any help with this would be fantastic.

[@lindseydo6303]

You can report the stock profit on question #6. So lets say if you put in 10k and you sold for 11k, you can report 1k the week you sold it. Gl

[@boydizza]

The question is do I have to report it as it is not "Income" IT is a "Capital Gain" that is my question. I do not want to report it if I do not need to. I will pay my taxes on the gains at the end of the year when I file but I cannot afford to loose a weeks unemployment unless I have to by law. I am now getting multiple answers from multiple people. There should only be one correct answer right.

Edd says I have to report any w2 info recieved in the last 18 months, but where would I then report my 1099 work? Do I add myself under "Employment Information"? Or do w2 employers only count as employers? I think I qualify for PUA, but I'm unsure how to report both because when I check Yes I recieved a w2 it takes me into the normal UI portal not the one for indepent contractors.

[@chericeeckels3633]

I have a question before the pandemic I had 2 jobs. The first job I work for the local school district. Which I still work and get paid. My second job they had to close because of the pandemic. I applied for UI benefits and got an award letter saying I would get a total of 344 a week for both jobs. But only 100 a week for the second job, since I am still working for the 1st one. My question is this, when filling out the certification for benefits I am reporting my income for my 1st job and it keeps saying excessive pay and then I don't qualify for benefits that week. What am I doing wrong? Do I only report for the job that I am not working? I can't get a hold of them by phone and I submitted a question. But still haven't received a response.

I am currently receiving unemployment benefits of Covid 19 and the extra $300 for edd. I’m planning on selling some stocks.

Will I lose my eligibility to keep receiving unemployment benefits?

This is a great video. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Maybe you can advise me. I live and worked in California as a Substitute Instrumental Classroom Aide. When the school closed and I was unable to work I applied and received biweekly payments. However the last time I certified i was only paid for week one. Week 2 is pending it has been. Because of COVID, the school I worked for is doing summer school online and very few Teachers will work. Substitutes like myself do not have an option to work at all during summer. I can not take jobs because of the pandemic changes let alone the school year ended now. Will I continue getting my benefits even when the official academic school year ended June 5? Last year I was able to take work assignments but this year I do not have an option to work. The week of June 6 was the last time I was paid last. I have been calling and sending email to resolve the pending issue however it goes ignored. I feel people like myself get cheated out. How can I at least get this pending issue resolved so I can apply for something else. I have major bills and can not work die to employment closures and school year ending

hello Lindsey. I have a question about unemployment benefits. I made an application for unemployment and work share cut 10 hours a week from 04/19/20 to 05/31/20 I was unemployed and I applied for unemployment insurance. Unemployed until June 7, I received 2 payments for 2 weeks. the last weekend 06/20 and the first week 07/20 because I worked 23 years so they gave me 23 weeks of working money when I certify 2 weeks of paying money I wrote that I received my employer compensation I laid off (severance money) after claiming unemployment, they paid me 2 time and today they wrote notice of reduced earning and not continue to be certified..I have many friends who also got factory money for it. but they are not like me ... the question I want to know is that the money has stopped the unemployment benefits already? now because many unemployed people I can not call them should bother Lindsey and I hope Hope Lindsey tell me why not? Sincerely thank Lindsey.

I've been unemployed for 12 months. The unemployment system is requiring me to submit a "new" application. And now it is saying I can't qualify for unemployment because I have met the base payment requirements for last year...which is correct...because I am not employed and have not been so I have not earned wages last year. So does that mean if Congress extends unemployment to September, I will not be qualified for that extension?

I have a question. I think my boss will pay us out on our sick pay my last check. I already reported my income for the last week since it goes by hour many hours we worked that week. Will i just report my sick pay only? Since it should of calculated my earning last time because i alresdy entered my last week hours on my last certification? Will i just be entering my sick pay and how will i enter those dates on the pay day week right? It just made me certify 10 to 16 and 17 to 23. My last working day was 22th. So i reported all the hours i worked in those two weeks already. The thing is i dont get paid until the 5th. And i think my boss plans to pay us sick pay cash us out so do i just wait until the week of the 5th to certify the sick pay and the sick pay only since i already reported my income for the other weeks right?

How severance pay amount should be reported during certification process: in gross or net?

[@lindseydo6303]

Gross pay. Severance pay is not deductible but EDD still needs you to report it just in case it's in lieu of notice pay or other bonuses that are deductible. Expect an interview.

[@pamelaortiz8107]

What if i forgot to add wages after certifying for benefits. what can i do?

[@marialukash115]

I am collecting unemployment, I work for entertainment industry, so we don’t have work anytime soon. Can I keep getting benefits if I get a pension, not yet, and it will be little money maybe in two months. I know Soc.Security is not a problem, what about a pension? Thank You very much. Maria.

[@lindseydo6303]

They will interview you for pension. It may be deductible or not depending on your pension. Are u receiving monthly?

[@goodguynow]

What does it mean when it says “Reissued” when you certify for benefits?

[@balla2828]

I am in California. Let's say my total claim balance is for $6500.00, How much taxes should I expect to pay on that?

[@lindseydo6303]

I'm not a tax person. I'd say save 10% or check the box on the claim form to have your taxes withheld. Pls subscribe

[@balla2828]

Lindsey Do I have Subscribed ✔️ I have 1 more question. Someone I know applied for unemployment but instead of receiving retroactive payments from March (when they were affected) they only received it for the last 2 weeks. However in my case they gave me it all the way back to March while we both applied on the same day with similar situations. Why is this and what can she do to help herself?

[@Romeo562]

i applied for edd i got accepted into the system. they said my payout would be $450. for week 1 and week 2 they send me a paper certification instead of email..i made a mistake on one of the question if i made any earnings for those 2 weeks.i put no instead of yes. then i got disqualified for those 2 weeks i sent them a email and mail of my correction on march 17( no response) i used to work 40 hours but now im working 20 hours is there anything else i can do to correct this??? :((i tried calling for past 2 weeks no luck at all. thank you for your time

[@lindseydo6303]

Stop everything and I was getting paid in cash I have my unemployment card. But they said to get to rest up for my benefit I need to have a wager form and I am self-employed how do I go by that

[@lynnliu2086]

I worked total of 20 hours a week on April 4 2020 but i Accidently put 23hrs on the certification form. HOW DO I MAKE A CORRECTION? I've calling and the EDD representative and was told that they cannot correct my mistake and there's nothing they can do. Please help.

Hi so I’m experiencing a dilema. I started streaming after loosing my job and I never reported the income I got as a streamer independent contractor. I didn’t know I had to report that so I’m reporting it now. It’s making me really nervous because genuinely did not know. Any advice?

[@SJ-369]

Hi Lindsey, thanks for putting together the content! You might have covered this in another video, but can you confirm the following: If self employed and Question 3 was marked Yes (thank you for noting EED’s automated system flags this and might delay the claim if marked no), do we have to complete Section B?

[@lindseydo6303]

Section b or work search does not need to be fill out. You can press next.

[@donogara8758]

Hi Lindsey, I heard if your PTO time that you are paid out, if your PTO Plan, allows you to use it other than just vacation pay, ..ie: if you can use it for xtravdays off, or if you early out let's say 2 hours early, you can use it for that, or take a personal day, then you do not have to report it as income on your weekly unemployment claim...are you aware of the statute??

[@luckydragon6091]

I was short on rent and ask my job to pay me my accumulate sick and vacation hours do I have to report it to my unemployment

[@alyssabelmares8734]

I’m so confused as I got a false statement penalty and I’m unsure why or what this means. Please DM me or make a video on how this happens ? I’m desperate as I am unable to get ahold of EDD by email or over the phone

[@lindseydo6303]

Sure. Can you specify what your FS was for? Check your determination ruling letter. Was it for separation, wages, or what?

[@guppelle]

Mine was the same for a false statement. Allied March 20th. I didn't get a determination letter either. No luck getting thru either on the phone or via email.

[@pamelagomez3705]

I went back to work this Tuesday the 5th and only worked 4 days this week. Will I still be able to claim 1 more benefit today? I wouldn’t be getting paid from work till the 20th of May

[@lindseydo6303]

You should still fill out your claim form since 4 days is less than full time but you need to report your wages for 4 days Even though you will be paid later. Report wage on the week you actually work, not when you are paid. Pls subscribe

[@richl5044]

Question: on my weekly claim 1st week I worked 29hrs and took a day of sick pay 8hrs do I include it with the hours I worked for that week? Tia

Will Taking a CARES Act distribution from Company Sponsored 401(K) reduce or stop my UI ?

[@abrahamcabanting1142]

I’m from Hawaii n I will be using up all my benefits in the next two week, n my claim end on July 14. Would I be able to file n qualify for the PEUC OR THE PUA ACT? Which one do I file for? Plz need ur hdlp

[@lindseydo6303]

It's the same Edd form. Let EDD do the work, you just need to file honestly and report correctly

[@abrahamcabanting1142]

Lindsey Do wat u mean

[@abrahamcabanting1142]

Just continue filling like I do even if there no money in my claim

[@abrahamcabanting1142]

Wat is EDD MEANS?

[@table22projects]

Thank you for the video! I am self-employed - S.Corp. I am currently getting PUA benefits. If I get a gig that pays now (say $1000) for 4 jobs ($250 each) that will be completed in July - August - and September. How do I report those wages?

[@lindseydo6303]

You report wages when you actually work, not when you are paid.
