Hey guys, it's Ginny Silver.
For those of you in the state of California collecting unemployment
benefits who are reaching the end of your PEUC, PUA and $300
boost federal unemployment benefits, many of you are receiving
this notice in your inbox and many of you are asking me in
the comments.
What is the DNCP deferred new claim payment program?
I want to go over briefly with you what the DNCP is who qualifies
for this and why those individuals are going to continue
to receive benefits after September 4.
Now this notice first recap the end dates for the federal
unemployment benefits.
I want you to view the video linked in the description down
below. If you are unsure about the end dates of any unemployment
programs now in the highway area here under PEUC claims is
the question that many of you are posting in the comments
the last several days.
The Edd States, if you qualified for the deferred new claim
payment program, we will automatically move you to your unexpired
regular unemployment claim, which has a lower weekly benefit
amount. We will notify you how to certify for future weeks
on your regular unemployment claim.
For those of you that don't know what DNCP is, this is confusing
you and you aren't sure if you're going to be able to collect
or be eligible under this program for UI, PEUC and Fed Ed
claimants, you reach the end of your benefit year twelve
months after your claims start date.
You can locate your claim start date in UI online once you
reach the end of your benefit year.
If you have worked within the last 18 months and earned enough
income in order to qualify for a new claim, you are required
by the Edd to file a new claim.
For many of you who filed a new claim, you were in fact awarded
a new claim, but this new claim was awarded at a much lower
weekly benefit award amount than your old claim.
If this new weekly benefit award amount is awarded at $25,
smaller or even less than your old claim, then the Edd keeps
you on your PEUC extension of your old expired claim and takes
your new lesser amount claim and defers it.
They set it aside until you reach the end of the PEUC benefits
after September 4.
This would then allow you to continue to collect at your
old weekly benefit word amount until PEUC expires claiming
ending September 4.
After the expiration of PEUC, the Edd States that if you qualified
for a DNCP, they will automatically move you over to your
new on expired regular unemployment claim which has a lower
weekly benefit award amount.
This has been allowing to collect under a brand new claim
for 26 weeks.
These 26 weeks do not expire September 4 because they are
under a regular state unemployment claim which is not affected
by the September 4 end date.
Now I understand that this is confusing and many of you may
not still understand if this applies to you.
So ask yourself, Did you file a new claim already when you
reach the end of your benefit year on UI, PEUC or Fed Ed?
If yes, and you did file a new claim, were you denied a new
claim? For those of you that were denied a new claim, then
the Edd would have issued you an Invalid claim notice, followed
by an extension for the next year of PEUC.
You would then collect PEUC until September 4 and then after
that. If qualified, you would move to Fed Ed for one remaining
week before Fed Ed ends on September 11.
For those of you that filed a new claim when your benefit,
you're ended and were awarded a new claim.
If you were awarded a new claim and are currently collecting
on that brand new claim, then this does not apply to you.
You will continue to collect your brand new claim until you
reach the end of 26 weeks worth of benefits.
Lastly, is where the DNCP kicks in.
For those of you that were awarded a new claim, and the new
claim had a weekly benefit word amount, $25 less or even
smaller than the old claim.
Then that new claim is deferred side and you are allowed
to continue collecting PEUC until September 4.
After September 4.
The Edd will then automatically apply your new deferred claim.
This will allow you to then collect those 26 weeks worth
of new benefits after September 4.
Okay, you guys, I hope that was helpful.
