All the questions are NO except for question 3( is ALWAYS YES) otherwise your check will be delayed. This is for both weeks. It’s very important to always look for work because EDD will need to know the job, company etc.

[@hulonthesurvivor5884]

It's completely overwhelmed. Scamming is going on in some locations. It's a shame.

[@80sbreaker]

almost all EDD question are designed for the filer to guess thus the filer answers incorrect and it allows EDD to delay paying out your claim even this lady knows that by addressing that the first question will automatically disqualify most people -- yet they have not fixed that yet

If partially unemployed. How to apply online if partially unemployed? I couldn't do this online because EDD is asking a concrete date when you started to work and when you had quit the work and for what reason you quit. So there's no option to let EDD know that I'm still working on one job but lost the other job.

if you are unavailable to work for one week, and one week only, does that mean you dont qualify for benefits for all the other weeks you were able to work and actively searching for work?

[@krazyepic323mc]

I applied on July 7th 2020 it's about to be 4 weeks on august 4th. I havent received anything. My brother also applied for it way before me and hasn't received anything. I tried calling the numbers on the paper I was given at the unemployment office and nobody is answering. They said keep trying, but the machines say it's too busy we cant help goodbye. I'm getting frustrated please show us a way to speak to a representative I dont need to speak to a machine I need actual help in figuring out why we havent received anything is it even being looked at. And might i inform you that i did my application online.

Miguel Campos Have you gone on,Inez to log into your account. After you log in, click manage or register. If you are approved, you will be asked to certify. If not, it will ask you for your customer ID #. In that case you will have to call EDD for your customer ID.

Just trying to get through all the PASSWORDS! I can never get it right! Even if I have the correct password the program says it is wrong and I can not continue. Are they doing this to discourage a person to file for edd?

[@MrJohnTrotter]

What about someone who was misclassified by their employer, filed before pandemic? And I assume my application confused EDD since I filled out the app exactly how an employee would (not an independent contractor the way my employer intentionally illegally classified me.) I imagine they are confused not only on whether I was an employee or not, but also, after looking at my social security, I found out that there is no record of me working for this employer! This employer has screwed me over in more ways than one and is also a slumlord who makes the tenants that live on his properties suffer. He is breaking so many laws and because EDD has still not gotten back to me to investigate the application I sent in a year ago now, he continues to get away with all that he continues to do. Ruining peoples lives and fraud on the IRS. I have wrote many letters to different government agencies including EDD and still, nothing has changed. Does this employer run the government? lol I don't understand.

[@user-mk9hz4ex6b]

Will I lose my unemployment after receiving an unsecured EIDL loan from SBA? Logically LOAN is not an income, which means I do not show it to EDD during the certification. Am I correct? Please reassure me. LA, Califonia.

It should be the third question; ALWAYS answer the questions as if you're ready & able to work, and are actively looking for work. Also, they don't care whether or not you have childcare, you must still be "available" to work...

I just certified three days ago did the $300 get cut off in California Because I did not receive it

[@martyharless5097]

The extra $300 started the week beginning July 26th through August 29th. If you did not certify for any of those weeks then you will not receive the $300. If you have certified for any of those weeks and have not received the extra $300 you need to contact EDD and let them know. They are trying to get a 6th week approved but the last I checked there was no word about it. If you already have an online account with EDD there is a section that allows you to contact them. Some of the categories will only give you explanations while other categories will allow you to ask a question. It's anybody's guess how long it will take for them to get back to you. Don't get frustrated and give up as that $300 figure could turn into more than that if and when Congress ever agrees on a new stimulus package.

[@br4nd0n79]

To anyone who’s family wife or kids have gotten covid, don’t hesitate to file a claim, I didn’t expect to be off a month, but no paycheck for a month hurt, I used my emergency funds and I honestly don’t know if the state will cover from the time my family was exposed til I return back to work. Do not be hesitant and think it’ll be over in a week or two because it probably won’t, I hope everyone who reads this is safe and I hope you all are well!
