Need help with EDD unemployment extension application - deadlines? specific types?

I just went through this last month! It can be a bit confusing, but here's what I learned: • First, check if you're eligible for an extension. This usually depends on your current benefit year and how much you've already received. • There are different types of extensions like PEUC (Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation) or FED-ED. The type you need depends on your situation. • Deadlines vary based on the extension type and when your regular benefits end. • Some extensions are automatic, others you need to apply for. • Keep an eye on your UI Online account for any notifications about extensions. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any specific questions.

ugh, extensions are such a headache. i've been trying to get mine sorted for weeks now. the system is so broken 😤

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

have you tried faxing your request? sometimes old school methods work better with these government agencies lol

DONT BOTHER WITH EXTENSIONS!!! just get a job, any job. its not worth the hassle dealing with edd 🤮

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're considering that might affect extensions? I saw something on the news but couldn't find much info online.

pro tip: document EVERYTHING. every call, every letter, every email. you never know when youll need to prove you did something or they said something. saved my butt more than once!
