Hey guys, it's Ginny Silver.
Today is September 5, which means that we have officially
passed the September 4 end date for the federal provisions
for unemployment, including the end of PEUC pay, the $300
boost and the MEUC boost.
Now, many of you have some remaining questions about these
programs that are popping up frequently in today's comments.
So I want to walk you through those frequently asked questions
surrounding the end of these programs.
Now, many of you received a similar letter to this in your
UI online.
Inbox this is a personalized message that States information
pertaining to your own specific type of claim confirming
that Pac the $300 boost have come to a close.
Now, many of you are wondering, Can you collect your remaining
balance if you're PEUC or Pua and your program has come to
a close?
The answer is no.
Unfortunately, the balance is payable in the form of weekly
benefits only within the program active dates and is not
available in a lump sum for weeks beyond September 4.
Next, many of you are asking, Will regular UI continue?
The answer here is yes.
If you're collecting regular state unemployment benefits
in your program type is noted as UI, then yes, those regular
state benefits will continue.
State benefits for unemployment for 26 weeks are always available
to those who lost their regular employment through no fault
of their own and who have had enough earnings in order to
qualify because the extension of PEUC comes to a close September
4 and the extension of Fed Ed will come to a close September
11, many of you are wondering, Can I file a new claim after
my last payment?
The answer here is if you have earned employee wages in the
amount of $1,500 or more in a twelve month period within
the last 18 months, you may file a new claim when you reach
the end of your benefit year.
Many of you are wondering what to do if you are still pending.
If you still have pending certifications and it has been
beyond 48 hours, contact Customer Service or your assembly
member. If you cannot get through to customer Service, conditional
payments will continue to be issued to those who qualify
by the September 30 deadline.
For those of you that have been pending for over two weeks
and have received one successful unemployment payout on your
claim previously, conditional payments will be processed
automatically for your claims by September 30 in accordance
with the Class Action Settlement Agreement.
However, contacting your assembly member or contacting Customer
Service will in most cases expedite this payment for those
of you who are wondering if you will still receive your back
dating if it has not yet been processed.
Now that we have reached the end of these programs, the answer
is yes if you submitted your request, but it has not yet
been processed.
The Edd should still process your back dating request and
apply it to your weeks.
Retroactively for those of you that have more questions regarding
back dating, please view the full Back Date Guide, which
I published several days ago, which is linked in the video
description down below.
Many of you may not have yet filed a Pua claim, but are wondering
if it is too late to do so.
Now the answer is that you have until October 6 to file a
new Pua claim and then you may request to have it back dated
and you may be paid out for retroactive weeks within the
Pua active dates as long as those dates are before September
4. Now, many of you are reporting that today's certification
is stuck in pending or is marked as paid, but you have not
seen a deposit come through due to the volume of claimants
certifying for their last payment on PEUC and Pua claims.
In addition to regular UI claims certifying today and due
to the holiday closure on Monday, expect additional processing
time. If your payment is pending over 72 hours, then I would
call in to add customer service or contact your assembly
member at that point in time.
For those of you who qualify for Fed
Ed, if you collected your last week of UI or PEUC and you
qualify for Fed
Ed, you should be automatically moved to the one remaining
week of Fed.
Ed.
This may take up to two weeks to process the transfer.
Fed.
Ed will end after September 11.
For those of you who are waiting your MEUC boost application
payouts and approvals, there is no definitive payout date.
Applications are due by September 6.
The Edd still continues to process applications as well as
issue these retroactive payments for the MEUC boost.
If you have complications with your application, they have
established a dedicated phone line which can be reached at
1-877-631-3247. Lastly, for those of you who are affected
by the California wildfires, if you're evacuated or cannot
work due to the wildfires, you may qualify to receive disaster
assistance. You can apply for this by going to
Edd.CA.Gov
