EDD Unemployment Claim: 'Qualification' Status Meaning and New Payment Issue

So I'm having this issue with my unemployment claim. I checked my account and under claim activity it says 'qualification' instead of payment. I'm not sure what this means. I also noticed there's a new payment issued, but it still says 'qualification' under claim activity. Has anyone else experienced this? What does it mean when it says 'qualification'? I'm worried about my benefits and I'm not sure if everything is okay with my claim. Any advice would be appreciated!

Ive been on unemployment for 6 months now and let me tell you, its always something with these people. One week its 'qualification', next week its 'pending', then 'disqualification'. Its like playing EDD bingo 🎱

PSA: Always screenshot everything in your EDD account. You never know when you might need proof of something later.

Pro tip: if you call EDD at exactly 8:01 am on a Tuesday while standing on one foot and humming the national anthem, you have a 0.001% higher chance of getting through. You're welcome.

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

Have you tried reaching out to your local assembly member's office? They can sometimes help speed things up with EDD.

Just google '[your city] assembly member'. They usually have a form on their website for EDD help. It's a game changer!

I had the same thing happen to me! It turned out that they were just verifying some info on my claim. It took about a week, but then it changed to 'payment' and I got my money. Don't stress too much!

Here's what I know about the 'qualification' status: β€’ It means your claim is under review β€’ EDD is checking if you meet eligibility requirements β€’ It doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem β€’ The duration can vary, but usually resolves within 1-2 weeks If you're concerned, you can try calling EDD to ask: 1. What exactly does 'qualification' mean for your claim? 2. Is there any additional info they need from you? 3. When can you expect a decision? Remember, seeing a new payment issued is a good sign! It likely means they've processed your payment, but are just doing a final review. Hang in there!

Ugh, the EDD system is such a mess. I've been dealing with similar issues for months now. 'Qualification' usually means they're reviewing your eligibility. It's frustrating, but hang in there!

It seems like many people are experiencing this issue, and while it's understandably frustrating, 'qualification' status is part of the EDD's review process. It signifies that your claim is under review for eligibility, and it doesn't imply that there's a problem with your claim. It's great that you noticed a new payment issued; this often means that your payment has been processed, and they are just doing a final review before releasing the funds. It's recommended to regularly check your EDD inbox or email (including the spam folder) for any requests for additional information from EDD, as missing such requests could prolong the process. If you haven't received any communication, patience is essential, as the status often updates within a week or two. If the delay is lengthy or causing hardship, consider reaching out to your local assembly member as they can sometimes expedite the process. Additionally, Claimyr is a service that might help you reach EDD faster if phone lines are consistently busy, though it requires a fee. Keep in mind that while Claimyr has been helpful to some, it's a personal decision based on urgency and financial situation. Good luck!
