EDD UI claim: Can't request weekly payments, reached max weeks? Help needed

I found a way to solve unemployment claim payment issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4sg5zG9W2o

Ive been dealing with this mess for over a year now. My advice? Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online message. You never know when you'll need to prove something later on.

Anyone else notice how the EDD website always seems to be "down for maintenance" right when you need it most? 🙄 It's like they're trolling us at this point.

I've been there, buddy. It's a total nightmare trying to figure out whats going on with these claims. Have you tried calling the EDD? Sometimes they can give you more info about your specific situation.

One tip I've found helpful is joining online forums or social media groups dedicated to unemployment tips. People share valuable insights that can sometimes help navigate the EDD maze.

Have you checked your UI Online account? Sometimes there are messages or updates there that explain whats going on with your claim. Might be worth a look if you haven't already.

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's so frustrating not knowing what's going on. I've been trying to get through on the phone for weeks with no luck. This whole system is a joke.

I've heard that Claimyr is legitimate and can be a real time-saver, but it's always good to weigh the cost against the convenience. Have you considered other methods of contacting EDD?

Hey OP, hang in there. I know its tough but youll figure it out. We're all in this together. Sending good vibes your way! 💪

Here's what I know about maximum weeks and extensions: 1. Regular UI claims typically last up to 26 weeks. 2. After that, you might be eligible for extensions like PEUC or Fed-Ed, depending on current programs. 3. If you've exhausted all extensions, you may need to file a new claim if you have wages in your base period. 4. Back pay is usually automatic if you've been eligible and certifying. 5. Extensions aren't guaranteed - they depend on federal and state programs in place. Best bet is to check your UI Online account for any messages about your claim status or next steps. If you can't find info there, you'll probably need to speak with an EDD rep directly. Good luck!

Ugh, the EDD system is such a mess. I swear they make it confusing on purpose 🤔 I hit my maximum weeks too and it took forever to figure out what to do next. Hang in there!

Have you tried reaching out to your local assemblymember or state senator? I've heard they can sometimes help push things along with EDD. Might be worth a shot if you're really stuck.

lol welcome to the EDD circus 🤡 where the rules are made up and the payments don't matter

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

For those considering extensions, keep an eye on any announcements from both federal and state authorities, as they sometimes introduce new programs or extend existing ones during tough economic times.
