[California] for those with 0 balance and not paid weeks

[debro]

Just got off the phone with EDD. For those with $0.00 balance and not paid weeks read

Hey guys, so the rep explained that for the weeks not paid. There was a glitch and when you Certified with no balance(new extension hasn’t kicked in yet), those weeks went to the old peuc and sits there. The rep had to send those weeks over the new extension by sending those weeks to another department to verify the weeks and change it to paid. She then told me that on her end, the new extension was good to go. And that my claim was fine. And told me to wait.

Btw I just got the extension email today. But still 0.00$ balance. Will keep this thread updated as things change. I wish y’all the best w rent coming up and all. Good luck!

EDIT: can confirm with two other friends. On our end we see 0.00$ balance. But on EDD’s end we are already on the extension as of today and already have the new balance. Everyone else’s claim might be on the same boat.

Call. Press 1 immediately when it picks up. That for English and to bypass the language thing. Then wait. Press 2 for employer and then 4 right away. I called once today using that and got thru.

@debro I got the email saying my application was automatically filed, but nothing has been confirmed.

I just checked my portal and the maximum benefits paid message is gone. Nothing is showing where that message is usually posted.

Hopefully it goes smoothly and my balance updates soon

@jimmyjimjim Same here!

 

[debro]

Hey guys. Quick update. So I ended up getting the reopen claim thing again. Which is weird because I got rid of it calling the rep the first time weeks ago. So idk what’s happening rn. Balance still zero.

 

[baksetballchristian]

@debro Yup

 

[aldredian]

@debro I never had the reopen claim thing before. But i do now. Should i open it?

 

[nathanzuckbran]

@debro same here. They have to transfer those weeks to the new 11 week extension. She said it may take up to 1 week to change.

 

[davidschmitt]

@nathanzuckbran Same she said wait 10 days

 

[tealpearl]

@nathanzuckbran 1 week from when you got the balance of 1 week from when you called?

 

[phoenix1]

@debro I wonder why what happened to those with a balance left on pending

 

[debro]

@phoenix1 Pending balances were due to the glitch of the reopening thing with the claims and suspension of accounts. I went through that already. Had 4 weeks pending since December. Got thru to the reps 3 weeks ago and only got paid for 2 weeks cus the balance expired.

 

[phoenix1]

@debro Ive had 4 weeks pending for a month.. they paid me the recent 2 weeks just not those.. I’ve been calling 100 times... what do you mean expired??

 

[debro]

@phoenix1 Same boat brotha. 4 weeks pending. Paid for 2. And the 3rd week got $50. I’m guessing ur claim balance ran out like I did bro

 

[phoenix1]

@debro Na had like 4500 left.. they paid me for the 2 weeks and now I’m at 3200... has to be something else but i cant get ahold to talk to them.. if it was fraud they wouldn’t have paid me the recent two i think

 

[becknps]

@phoenix1 I suspect fraudulent activities from within EDD....

 

[andrew77]

@debro Really? The lady told me they couldn’t transfer those weeks over?
Told me it would take a month... guess I need to call back

 

[debro]

@andrew77 They transfer ur claim weeks to another department I think and then they process it. So not sure how long we have to wait.

 

[andrew77]

@debro Yeah she prob just wanted to get rid of me. Gona call again soon.

 

[fulltimemusicministry]

@andrew77 1 (855) 327-7057 - call this number - it worked well for me - the recording said my wait time would be 6 minutes - it was 62 minutes ! LOL!!

I got a very competent, knowledgeable representative who took care of it within minutes. She did say it may take “ a few days” for the claim to transfer from “Not Paid “ to “ “Paid” ; however she was hoping I would see the change in 24-48 hours. It’s been 24 hours and no change yet .
I also had called my State Senator’s office and got an email message from the side saying that he spoke to his EDD contact, my account was updated and the funds will be transferred to my newly filed extension claim , including the $300 Federal money.
I feel more hopeful than I have in 5 weeks!

Best of luck to you - we will get through this!

@debro I got the exact same response today from the Edd person I talked to that hardly ever happens. Good luck hope everything works out for you I have my fingers crossed rents due Monday.
