hi everyone did you know you may not need to refile for california benefit year-ends anymore
if not take a look at this and i'll share a quick update on the changes
we've got some really wonderful news for many of you out there
as of june 5th edd will now automatically update those of you with peuc fpuc and fed ed claims but
you need to pay attention to the details from june 5th onwards the edd will be automating the process
for claimants who did not earn enough wages in the last 18 months and that means you guys
will no longer have to reapply for benefits in certain cases this means less pending statuses
much less waiting and yes many more of you should start to see your weekly ui or pua payments again
starting june 5th if you did not earn enough wages during the last 18 months
you will no longer have to reapply for benefits instead edd will automatically process benefits
on your claim and apply any federal extensions to your expired claim this is for all of you regular
ui pua federal extension and yes the three hundred dollars per week remember though you
must continue to do your weekly certifications to get paid okay so here's the catch if you
earned any wages during the last 18 months and those wages were reported by an employer
you may need to reapply even if you were on an extension edd will then process your claim and
add the federal benefits for you i'll show you how to refile here in a little bit so edd is making it
easy to see if you need to reapply this is for you if you had any wages in the last 18 months
you need to log into ui online and attempt to file a new claim the process will only proceed now if
edd has information from wages reported by your employer otherwise it will not let you proceed
if the system won't let you reapply you are good to go and the new edd automation will take care
of your claim and deliver your federal extensions if you haven't worked in the last 18 months you
might think you don't have to do anything and just wait for your weekly payments to start
you really need to make double sure i am really encouraging you to check your current benefit year
end date your dashboard if your benefit year date is over 12 months old immediately try and reapply
for a new ui claim to see if the system allows you to refile it's really easy to do to refile
log into your ui dashboard and click on the ui online button that i've highlighted here
once you've done this click on the file new claim button i've highlighted
and try to refile if it does you need to refile and if it doesn't you know you're good to go
if you're having other claims issues beyond what i've talked about today and you need to
reach an edd phone rep here's some tips out of all the options out there be it emailing
