I'm new to this community but dealing with the exact same certification issue right now! My UI Online account has been showing "no weeks available" since Monday even though I should have weeks left on my claim. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really helpful - sounds like this is more widespread than I thought. I'm going to try the Claimyr service that a few people mentioned since calling directly hasn't worked for me either. Thanks for sharing your updates about what worked, it gives me hope that this can actually get resolved quickly once you reach the right person!

I'm going through this exact same issue right now! My certification has been stuck since last Sunday with the "no weeks available" message even though my claim doesn't expire until September. It's so frustrating because I can see my claim balance is still there, but the system won't let me certify. I've been trying to call for three days straight with no luck - just getting that automated message about too many callers. Really glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with this and that there are actually solutions that work. Going to try the Claimyr service and also submit a message through UI Online using the specific categories that @Miguel Herrera mentioned. Thanks everyone for sharing what worked for you - gives me hope this will get resolved soon!

Just wanted to add my experience as someone who's dealt with this exact situation multiple times - when you report part-time earnings for the first time on a claim, EDD's system almost always flags it for manual review. It's super annoying but totally normal. What I've found is that the delay is usually 24-48 hours longer than a normal certification. So if you normally get paid by Tuesday, expect it Wednesday or Thursday when you report earnings. The good news is that once you've reported earnings a few times on the same claim, the system "learns" your pattern and the delays get shorter. One thing that might help for future certifications - try to certify as early as possible on Sunday (like midnight or early morning). I've noticed that certifications submitted later in the day sometimes don't start processing until Monday night instead of Sunday night, which pushes everything back another day. Also, since your payment is now in "paid" status, you should definitely see the deposit by tomorrow morning with Chase. Their EDD deposits usually hit between 2-6 AM on the day after it shows as paid. You should make your rent deadline no problem!

Hey Gabriel! I just went through this exact same situation last month and wanted to share what I learned. When you report part-time earnings for the first time on a new claim, it almost always triggers an automatic review that adds 1-2 extra business days to the normal processing time. It's frustrating but totally normal. Since your payment just switched to "paid" status this morning (saw your update in the comments), you should definitely see the money in your Chase account by tomorrow morning, possibly even tonight. Chase is really good with EDD deposits - they usually process them overnight once EDD releases the funds. For future reference, I found that certifying right at midnight on Sunday instead of later in the day helps things process a bit faster. Also, the system gets "used to" your earnings pattern after a few certifications, so the delays should get shorter over time. Sounds like you'll make your rent deadline just fine! The waiting is always nerve-wracking but the system does work, just slower when earnings are involved.

I just went through this exact same thing about a month ago! Woke up to see weekly certification instead of my usual bi-weekly and immediately thought "this is it, my benefits are done for." But after going through 4 weeks of weekly certifications, it automatically switched back to bi-weekly without any issues. What I learned from the experience: - The weekly amount was exactly half of my normal bi-weekly payment - I actually got my money faster since I was certifying more frequently - My claim balance decreased at the same rate as before, just in smaller weekly chunks - No impact whatsoever on my total benefit duration or remaining weeks The most frustrating part is that EDD gives zero explanation when this happens. I spent hours on forums like this one trying to figure out if I was about to lose my benefits! With $8,400 still on your claim, you're definitely not anywhere close to exhausting your 26 weeks. This is just their system doing its weird EDD thing. Just keep certifying weekly as prompted and don't stress about it - it'll go back to normal on its own. And honestly, the weekly payments weren't terrible for budgeting!

I'm going through this exact same situation right now too! Just saw the weekly certification prompt this morning and my heart sank thinking my benefits were ending early. I still have about $9,200 left on my claim and have only been collecting since February, so I knew something seemed off. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been such a huge relief - it's clear this is just a normal EDD system quirk that happens occasionally for various reasons (holidays, system maintenance, etc.). It's so frustrating that they don't provide any explanation when these changes happen! Based on what everyone is saying, it sounds like the weekly certifications are temporary and will switch back to bi-weekly on their own within a few weeks. And the payment amounts work out to be exactly the same - just half the normal bi-weekly amount paid weekly instead. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences here. It's really reassuring to know this is a common occurrence and not a sign that benefits are ending. The EDD system definitely keeps us all on our toes with these unexplained changes!

UPDATE: Just checked my UI Online account and my status changed from "pending" to "paid" this morning! Hopefully that means I'll have the money by tomorrow or Wednesday. Thanks everyone for your help and advice!

Great to see your status changed to "paid" so quickly! That's usually a good sign you'll see the funds by Tuesday/Wednesday. Just wanted to add - since you mentioned inconsistent timing between your first two payments, it's worth noting that the first payment in any benefit year often takes longer due to additional verification steps. Once you're in the regular certification cycle, timing tends to be more predictable. Also, if you do decide to switch to the Money Network card for faster processing, you can change your payment method in your UI Online account under "Profile" > "Payment Information." The card usually arrives within 7-10 business days after requesting it.

UPDATE: I finally got through to EDD this morning (called right when they opened at 8am). Turns out there were TWO problems - 1) My employer had reported my wages to the wrong SSN for one quarter (typo on their end), and 2) The system was trying to reactivate my old pandemic claim instead of creating a new one. The rep was actually super helpful and fixed both issues. They're processing a new claim for me now and said I should see everything updated in my portal within 10 days. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions! I'll post again once everything is resolved to confirm it all worked out.

So glad you got it sorted out! Your experience is a perfect example of why it's crucial to keep calling until you reach someone who can actually look at your account. The combination of employer reporting errors AND the system trying to reactivate an old claim instead of filing a new one is exactly the kind of mess that automated systems can't handle. Thanks for sharing the update - it'll definitely help others who run into similar issues. The 8am call time tip is gold too!
