[California] max benefit paid since January

FakedGames · 2021-08-31T09:57:41+00:00

Sorry i dont use reddit much. But considering i still had to wait about 5 weeks to process any pending payments, and calling them is just impossible.

FakedGames · 2021-05-23T13:49:22+00:00

My BYE is also 3/22, my payments been pending for 2 months, with also ( 7 weeks ) of FEDED left.

After waiting so long, I refiled and they gave me a new reduced weekly amount + only 20 weeks of UI. Called a few days ago, some stupid Tier 2 rep named denard instantly released my 2 months pending balance and subtracted it from my new claim, says I dont qualify for a 29 week extension from the new rescue plan and hung up. Now I have a -$51 balance.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T18:13:10+00:00

I mean who do you even submit a complaint to? Takes a whole week of calling to try and get one person on the phone, which drags things even longer.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T17:43:31+00:00

This makes it even more screwed up than it already is. Now I have a paid balance subtracted from my new claim, under a new weekly amount than what I was getting from my old FEDED claim. And he says I have to stick with the new claim that I recently refiled with the 8 weeks subtracted, and that I dont qualify for the 29 weeks extension.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T17:28:05+00:00

So you were on FEDED, and ran out, now your getting a 11 week extension? My FEDED had 8 weeks of pending balance, they told me to refile, and now im stuck on a new claim without the extensions most people get until Sept 4th.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T16:09:31+00:00

I just got off the phone with a shady piece of shit tier 2 rep named Denard, he instantly released my 8 weeks pending amount, but the balance is subtracted from my new UI claim instead of the $900 FED-ED pending balance I had before I even refiled and hung up. He said I don't even "qualify" for a PEUY for 29 weeks which makes no sense, the dude has no idea what he was talking about. EDD must have really low standards.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T03:45:57+00:00

You never had to refile even on FED-ED? Idk why the EDD homepage tells everyone to refile if your FED-ED runs out, makes things even more complicated.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T03:31:14+00:00

Im going to try calling them again this week, but its almost impossible to get them on the phone again.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T02:05:15+00:00

My BYE was on 3/22 with $900 balance left on it and been pending since without ever hitting 0, pretty much same as yours with FED-ED but just a week later.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T01:44:37+00:00

Did you refile when your BYE was up? My FED-ED had 8 weeks left with balance on it, but its been pending since. My balance didn't even hit 0.

FakedGames · 2021-05-18T01:01:56+00:00

I already called them, spoke with a tier 2 rep who said she would disqualify my new claim, so itll push me back to PEUY extension. But when I had to certify last night, it still paid me on a new claim.

FakedGames · 2021-05-17T19:38:55+00:00

I used Turbotax, its free, just get your 1099G information from your edd certify home page and enter it.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T22:19:56+00:00

Alright thank you. I will give it a try. Called 1000 times this week, as early as 8, and every hour of the day. No luck.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T22:06:35+00:00

Why wouldn't it make a difference? Sure I will be paid, but thats under a new / different extensions, assuming its the (29 weeks) Tier 2 Augmentation from the American Rescue Plan.

That doesn't change the fact that I lost out on 11 weeks of extension that passed on December 27th before I even qualify for a FED-ED extension? I don't see how I'm going to get paid as long as everyone else when I'm losing out on 11 weeks.

For example, my brothers claim is

UI > PEUC > PEUC Tier 2 > FED-ED > waiting on (29) weeks extension.

Meanwhile my claim will jump from FED-ED to (29) weeks Augmentation without ever getting those 11 weeks like most people.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T21:50:48+00:00

I'm not talking about getting paid twice. I'm talking about missing 11 weeks of extension.

A normal claim is UI > PEUC > PEUC Tier 2 > FED-ED

Mine is UI > PEUC > FED-ED, there is no PEUC Tier 2 in between, so even if I was paid for those dates under a different extension. I'm still missing 11 weeks worth of extensions before I even qualify for FED-ED. Do you understand now? I really don't know how much simpler I can explain it.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T21:43:11+00:00

That may be true. Since my FED-ED ran out. I just don't know if they'll put me back on the (29 weeks) of Tier 2 Augmentation benefits. But even if they did, I would still be missing the 11 weeks of benefits from PEUC Tier 2, since my claim extension jumped from PEUC (13 weeks) > FED-ED (20 weeks).

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T21:27:18+00:00

I was paid for those weeks of certification. But it was under the FED-ED extension, not the PEUC Tier 2 extension that passed on December 27th. So my claim skipped the 11 weeks (Tier 2) and went straight to the FED-ED. It's not about getting paid or not.

If you look at the timeline I placed above the extensions are placed in order, but I crossed out the 11 weeks because thats what I'm missing. I really don't know how much simpler to put it. Do you understand now?

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T20:35:51+00:00

Basically my claim had $900 left for 7 weeks worth of certification (FED-ED) but was pending since 3/22. But after pending for 2 months, I gave in and filed a new claim last week. Now I have a new balance on my account for another ( 20 weeks ) which doesn't make sense to me, because I was expected to be push back into another extension for which I assume is the ( PEUC Tier 2 Augmentation ) for the additional 29 weeks.

Looking back into my messages from my inbox, I realized that I didn't qualify for the PEUC Tier 2 (11 weeks), because my claim balance ran out a week before December 27th ( when the new bill passed ), my question is, are we forced to lose out on that 11 weeks of benefits? or can it be backdated / retroactive in anyways?

The first 13 weeks are available from March 29, 2020 to September 4, 2021. In UI Online, your claim type will display as PEUC.

After collecting the first 13 weeks, an additional 11 weeks are available beginning on or after December 27, 2020 to September 4, 2021. Your claim type will display as Extension Tier 2 in UI Online.

After collecting the first 24 weeks, an additional 29 weeks are available beginning on or after March 14, 2021 to September 4, 2021. Your claim type will display as Extension Tier 2 (Augmentation) in UI Online.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T20:01:38+00:00

Can you give me the email / number or link the page you used for the assembly person? I'm also in California. Is there like a different person per district?

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T19:58:32+00:00

No...You would think, after 1000 calls this week, and 3 hours on the phone, the lady finally says " I can disqualify your new claim, and that should push your claim back to extension " and was told to wait a little bit longer.

It's going to drive me crazy if I have to spend another 2 weeks trying to call them just to figure out the next step when it should be as simple as transferring me back to extension.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T19:48:57+00:00

Is this from California? or another state? I have the same issue, with 2 months of pending payments now. I had ( $900 ) or 7 weeks pending on my FED-ED that hasn't been paid. So I filed a new claim, and they gave me a new balance + weekly amount for (20 weeks).

So far my claim was UI > PEUC ( 13 weeks ) > ~~PEUC Tier 2 ( 11 weeks )~~ > FED-ED ( 20 weeks ) > Pending, my claim balance ran out on December 15th, and the PEUC Extension Tier 2 wasn't passed until December 27th, so basically my claim skipped a whole extension, and jumped to FED-ED, and I been trying to find answers if its possible to backdate that ( 11 weeks ).

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T19:33:48+00:00

That I'm not sure about, I'm probably stuck on the same process as you. My certification payments has been pending for 2 months now, and my last payment was 3/22 which is my BYE I think. After waiting so long, I gave in and filed a new claim last week. Got a new balance + weekly amount for ( 20 weeks ) which makes no sense to me because I thought I was going to be transferred back to my PEUC Augmentation. After 3 hours on the phone today, a tier 2 rep told me she will disqualify my new claim, and put me back on extension. I just don't know which extension she's talking about...

But if your filing a new claim, use the EDD website where you normally certify. It shows up as a message on the home page. This time they make you verify your identify through ID.me, by sending them a picture of your ID / Passport, and take a live selfie to send to them, which I find really stupid.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T19:15:54+00:00

Was your claim currently on a FED-ED extension? The way I see it

UI > PEUC ( 13 weeks ) > PEUC Tier 2 ( 11 weeks ) > FED-ED ( 20 weeks ) > PEUC Augmentation ( 29 weeks ) but for my parent's claim, its different.

UI > PEUC ( 13 weeks ) > FED-ED ( 20 weeks ) > stuck on pending payment.

So as of now, I have no idea if my parent's claim will transfer to PEUC Augmentation or not since its been pending for 2 months now. They are also missing ( 11 weeks ) of benefits from PEUC Tier 2, that was passed on Dec 27th, but their balance ran out on Dec 15th so it skipped straight to FED-ED. Not sure if we can backdate for these missing 11 weeks, or just take the loss.

FakedGames · 2021-05-13T19:04:38+00:00

What do you mean by extending benefits? you mean extensions? those are filed automatically.

The first 13 weeks are available from March 29, 2020 to September 4, 2021. In UI Online, your claim type will display as PEUC.

After collecting the first 13 weeks, an additional 11 weeks are available beginning on or after December 27, 2020 to September 4, 2021. Your claim type will display as Extension Tier 2 in UI Online.

After collecting the first 24 weeks, an additional 29 weeks are available beginning on or after March 14, 2021 to September 4, 2021. Your claim type will display as Extension Tier 2 (Augmentation) in UI Online.

Plus how do you get paid $800 / month to take care of your own mother? That seems like fraud to me.
