How to find out when EDD benefits end? Need help ASAP!

The end date of your benefit year should be on your initial award letter. It's usually one year from when you first filed your claim. Check your paperwork or log into your online account to find it.

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

Here's what you need to know about unemployment benefit periods: • Your benefit year typically lasts 52 weeks from the date you filed your claim • You can receive benefits for up to 26 weeks (in most states) within that year • If you're still unemployed after your benefit year ends, you may need to file a new claim • Extensions may be available during high unemployment periods • Your weekly benefit amount and total available benefits are calculated at the start of your claim To find your specific end date: 1. Check your initial claim approval letter 2. Log into your state's unemployment portal 3. Call the unemployment office (be prepared for long wait times) Remember, even if your benefit year hasn't ended, you might exhaust your benefits before then if you've claimed the maximum weeks available. Always report any income you earn while receiving benefits to avoid overpayments.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get basic info about our benefits? the system is broken af 🤡

Has anyone had luck with the chat feature on the unemployment website? I've heard it's faster than calling.

Pro tip: Set a reminder for yourself a few weeks before your benefit year is set to end. That way you can start preparing to either find work or file a new claim if needed. Don't wait until the last minute!

Anyone else notice that the rules seem to change every other week? I swear I need a law degree just to understand whats going on with my claim sometimes lol
