Hey guys, it's Ginny Silver with a California Edd unemployment
update. For those of you who are waiting your DNCP to be activated
your Deferred new Claim program.
You need to watch this video.
I have been reporting on this for the last several weeks,
but I'm issuing one video today to clarify that many of you
who are awarded a deferred new claim and who are waiting
for that claim to be applied to your account may not be able
to collect it.
This video is important, so please make sure that you watch
it. If you're anticipating receiving a deferred claim.
About two weeks ago, I shared a video explaining how the
Edd is not sharing important information regarding qualifying
for a new claim.
The Edd continues to state that if you earned wages within
the last 18 months, you may qualify for a new claim.
Unfortunately, this is not all of the information.
The Edd States that if you have wages within the last 18
months, you may qualify for a new claim.
They state the 18 months guideline on Twitter on their benefits,
your end page, and in many other places.
However, what the Edd fails to mention is that the Edd also
has a longstanding requalification requirement for those
of you that are applying for a subsequent claim where you
had previously collected on an old claim, it expired and
you had to file a new claim.
The Edd has a separate set of a requalification requirement
which are not shared prominently.
First, to qualify for a subsequent claim required to have
those $1,500 worth of wages in your highest earning quarter
within the last twelve months.
18 months does not qualify you.
If you are applying for a second claim, it must be within
the last twelve months.
Now, this is not a new requirement that Edd did not change
something, but what they fail to do was communicate this
requirement. Clearly, this requirement is not found anywhere
that is easily accessible.
It's found within their Reasons for denial or determination
document where they list the reasons why your claim would
be denied, and it's also found within a long PDF guide in
one small paragraph within a long document.
Now, I reported on that information about two weeks ago.
However, what is happening now is even more alarming.
The Edd is now revoking claims that were previously awarded
and they are not notifying claim individuals who reached
the end of their benefit here and needed to file a new claim
if they were awarded a new claim and then received a deferred
claim notice that looks exactly like this one.
The Edd informed them that they would be able to collect
their deferred new claim at the end of the PEUC benefits.
The Edd seems to have awarded new claims to a group of claimants
who actually do not qualify.
What's even worse is that the Edd did not notify them that
they did not qualify, approved their new claim and told them
that they would receive their new deferred claim later.
The Edd failed to issue a notice of Invalid claim.
The Edd failed to let these claimants know that because they
did not receive any wages within the last twelve months,
they do not meet the re qualification requirements.
The Edd requirement that a claimant must have $1,500 or more
in their highest earning quarter within the last twelve months
is documented in a difficult to find PDF and Reasons for
denial page, but not clearly communicated to claimants.
And what is worse.
These claimants are being awarded claims being told that
they will receive those claims and then they are never coming
for those claimants who call in to customer service to check
on their deferred new claims.
They are now being told that that claim was not valid because
they did not earn enough wages within the last twelve months.
Edd should have sent them a denial letter.
They should have sent them a notice of Invalid claim.
However, the Edd failed to do so.
This is a huge mistake on Edd part.
Not only is Edd not communicating this twelve month requirement,
which I could find previously when I looked for it two weeks
ago, but it was extremely difficult to locate, but more so,
the Edd has approved claims that should not have been approved
and failed to send out proper notification that the claimant
did not qualify.
Those of you who have not yet received your deferred new
claim and you're wondering where it is.
If you are someone who has not worked within the last twelve
months of filing that new claim, that claim will be marked
as Invalid.
The Edd Unfortunately, is notifying claimants when they call
in. If they fall in that camp that Edd failed to send them
a proper notice.
If you're not going to qualify to receive benefits that Edd
said that you would receive before.
I want you guys to have a heads up, please.
If you have not received your deferred claim and you are
expecting to receive it, call into Edd, contact your assembly
member or call Edd and use the call tips in the video description
in order to get through it a little faster.
Check in and see if you were able to receive an update on
your DNCP claim.
If you are told that you do not qualify due to lack of wages,
this is the reason why and you are not alone.
The Edd has botched this.
They have failed to send out proper notices.
They have failed in terms of awarding these new claims.
When people did not qualify and they are taking them back
from those who received an award letter who did not have
wages within the last twelve months.
For those of you that are finding yourself in this situation,
I want you to contact your assembly member.
Unfortunately, no, they're not going to be able to change
EDD's requirements to qualify for a new claim.
But it's extremely important that the assembly members here
that this is an ongoing problem.
Now, if you are an individual who falls in this camp, you
were anticipating receiving your deferred new claim, and
the Edd have now told you that you do not qualify and that
that originally awarded claim is Invalid.
I want you to reach out to your California Assembly member.
You can send them a link to this video or you can send them
a message describing your situation.
But it's important to let your California lawmakers know
that this is a problem that is happening.
The California State Assembly members have been extremely
outspoken with the California Edd issues in terms of audit
hearings, legislative change, and holding the Edd accountable.
So please contact them and let them know that this is happening
for you.
If you watch my channel regularly, you know that I always
try to advocate for you guys in the media with the Edd, as
well as with the California State representatives.
So this video I have now sent over to about 25 California
Assembly members.
I also have sent it out to about ten different news stations,
and I have also sent it out to the governor's office, the
California Department of labor.
So if the information in this video seems repetitive, because
I have published several videos on this information in the
last two weeks, I started reporting on this about two weeks
ago. If it seems repetitive, you guys, it's because this
is extremely important.
The Edd not only failed to communicate the requirements clearly,
but they awarded these claims and now are taking them away,
and they aren't even notifying the claimants.
So once again, if you received a DNCP letter and you have
not yet received your deferred new claim, please call into
the Edd.
Make sure that you are able to get it applied to your claim.
And if not, please make sure that you report it to your assembly
member. Okay, you guys, I hope that was helpful.
