Hey, guys, it's Ginny Silver.
I wanted to give you a brief, concise, clear statement to
those of you who have been asking me in the comments about
the end date for a PUA, PEUC, the $300 Boost and Feed.
Now, I have made more detailed videos on this topic many
times, but these programs are confusing, and with the end
dates approaching, many of you are confused and are seeking
further clarification on exactly when your programs end.
The stimulus bill which created and extended these programs
brings the programs to a close on September 6 for PEUC, PUA
and the $300 boost as well as the MEUC boost.
Because claim week ending September 4 is the last payable
week in the state of California, claim week ending September
4 will be your last week.
To collect these benefits.
You will certify for claim week ending September 4 on your
next certification date, either on September 5 or on the
next following week.
If you're on a different certification cycle, you will still
be able to receive the full payout amount for claim week
ending September 4, including the $300 boost.
After that, however, all of those programs, PEUC, $300 boost,
Pua, and MEUC have all come to a close.
You will not be able to collect your remaining balance.
You will not receive the payout in a lump sum, and even if
you received a statement of a word letter with more weak
that go beyond that, those programs and so you will unfortunately
not be able to collect that amount.
Now, with regards to Feed, the Edd has reduced Fed Ed down
from 20 weeks down to 13 weeks maximum that you can collect,
and you can only collect Fed Ed up until claim week ending
September 11.
For faded claimants who collect the maximum of 13 weeks before
September 4, the Edd will automatically transition you over
to collect the remaining weeks of the PEUC extension.
Now for those of you who are currently collecting a PEC extension
under the Deferred new Claim program, if you are required
to file a new claim when you reach the end of your benefit
year and were awarded a new claim, but it was deferred due
to it being a lesser weekly benefit award amount when PEUC
ends on September 4 following that end date.
Next, the Edd will automatically apply your newly awarded
claim to your unemployment account and you will begin to
collect regular unemployment benefits that were already awarded
to you in that deferred claim.
Now, we do have a brand new piece of information that the
Edd added to their Federal Provisions for Unemployment page
but was not noted in their press release or any other information
they state.
Now here that for PUA, they will continue to take applications
for new claims 30 days after September 4 if you are seeking
benefits for weeks of unemployment before September 4.
So for those of you who are submitting applications just
now who are worried about them being processed in time or
received on time.
You have up until 30 days after September 4 in order to submit
those applications to claim benefits for weeks that occurred
before the program ended before claim week ending September
4. For those of you collecting PEUC who reached the end date
of September 4 and who qualify for Fed Ed, the Edd will automatically
migrate you over to a Fed Ed extension.
Then you can collect that for that one final week up until
claim week ending September 11, at which time the Fed Ed
program will come to a close.
Even if there is a delay in applying near Fed Ed extension,
you will still be able to receive a payout for that week
once the extension is processed.
The only benefits which will remain after September 4 ends,
PEC Pua and the $300 boost and after Fed Ed ends on claim
week ending September 11 will be UI traditional state unemployment
benefits for the amount of 26 weeks worth of benefits will
still remain since this is the state's regular unemployment
program for those of you who have received an unemployment
claim and have had your benefits expire as of September 4.
When the extensions and once you reach the end of your benefit
year, which is twelve months after your claim start date,
you are then eligible to apply for a new regular unemployment
claim. In order to qualify to receive approval for a new
regular unemployment claim, you must have worked within the
last 18 months and have earned at least one $400 or more
worth of W2 employee income.
Currently, we do not have anything moving in Congress, and
we would need to see something proposed, passed and signed
into law in order to expect an extension to these programs.
Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have any additional
extensions planned.
Lastly, I know that many of you are struggling at this point
in time as the federal related benefits come to a close as
you return to work or seek out employment or resuming self
employment, I've created a support community form where you
can engage with other supportive community members to voice
fears, concerns, successes, etcetera.
So this is a separate area where you are able to speak a
little more freely and engage with one another.
While it's not intended for me to personally answer your
questions over there, I do pop in from time to time, but
please join in the community.
Use the code down below.
It's free to join at this point in time and you can engage
with other supportive members.
Okay, you guys, I hope that was helpful.
