Just following up - were you able to get this resolved? Another option I forgot to mention is visiting an America's Job Center (AJCC) in person. They can sometimes expedite these kinds of issues by connecting with EDD liaisons directly. Bring your ID and any EDD correspondence you have.

That's awesome news that you got it sorted out! The name spelling issue is such a common problem but most people don't think to check that. Really glad the community here could help you avoid missing rent. For anyone else reading this thread - definitely save this info because the Money Network migration has been causing similar issues for months. The key takeaways seem to be: 1) Get the EXACT spelling/formatting EDD has on file, 2) Ask for your BIC number, 3) Paper check backup option exists, and 4) Services like Claimyr can help you actually reach EDD reps. Hope your card arrives on time!

Anyone else notice that if you transfer on a Monday it goes through faster than if you do it on a Thursday or Friday? Or is that just me?

Update: I went ahead and initiated the transfer this morning. The Money Network site says it should be in my account by Tuesday! Cutting it close for rent but should work out. Thanks everyone for the advice!

After reading through all the responses, here's a summary of the best approach: 1. Be completely transparent with the warehouse about your timeframe and get it in writing 2. When it's time to leave, provide proper notice and clearly state you're returning to your primary seasonal employment 3. Maintain good standing with both employers 4. When you file for unemployment after your seasonal job ends, be prepared to explain your work history during the benefit year 5. During your eligibility interview, clearly explain the higher wages and established nature of your seasonal employment as the reason for leaving the temporary position This approach gives you the best chance of maintaining eligibility while still earning income during your off-season.

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now! I work in forestry (seasonal May-September) and just got offered a part-time retail job for the winter months. Reading through all these responses has been super educational. One thing I want to add - if you do take the warehouse job, make sure you understand their policies around rehiring. Some places will mark you as "not eligible for rehire" if you quit, even with proper notice. That could limit your options if you need temporary work again next winter. Also, consider asking the warehouse if they have any temporary or seasonal positions available instead of permanent roles. Some employers are more understanding when they know upfront that it's meant to be temporary employment. Good luck with whatever you decide! Seasonal work definitely has its challenges when it comes to navigating the off-season.

I went through something very similar last year! Got a disqualification letter on Tuesday and then an EDDCAN number on Friday - I was so confused. Turns out EDD had shifted my claim to use my part-time retail job instead of my full-time position where I got "terminated for cause" (which was bogus). The key thing is that EDDCAN number - that means you have an active claim! I'd suggest logging into UI Online and checking if you have any weeks available to certify. If you do, go ahead and certify. The worst that happens is they say you're not eligible, but if the system is letting you certify, that's usually a good sign. Also definitely appeal that misconduct determination from Davis Marketing. Even if you're getting benefits through the DoorDash claim now, having a misconduct on your record could hurt you for future claims. I appealed mine and won because my employer couldn't provide any actual evidence of the misconduct they claimed. The whole process took about 6 weeks from appeal to hearing, but it was worth it to clear my record. Stay persistent!

I'm dealing with a very similar situation right now! Got disqualified from my main job for "insubordination" (which is completely false - I was actually laid off due to budget cuts), but then received an EDDCAN number for a claim based on my freelance graphic design work. The fact that you have the same EDDCAN number on both letters is actually really encouraging - it means EDD likely just redirected your existing claim to use your DoorDash earnings instead of Davis Marketing. When I called EDD (finally got through after using that Claimyr service someone mentioned), the rep explained that they do this automatically when the primary employer disqualifies someone but there are other qualifying wages in the base period. My advice: definitely certify when your weeks become available, and absolutely appeal that Davis Marketing disqualification. Even though you're getting benefits through DoorDash now, clearing that misconduct from your record is important for future claims. Plus, if you win the appeal, they might be able to increase your benefit amount based on the higher Davis wages. The whole system is confusing but it sounds like it's actually working in your favor! Keep us updated on how it goes.

I'm going through this same situation right now! Just got laid off after 5 months at a startup and the quarterly income section totally threw me off when I tried to reopen my claim. I had no idea this was standard procedure - I thought maybe there was an error in the system or something had changed since I filed my original claim. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly helpful. I'm definitely going to gather all my pay stubs first and organize them by quarter like some of you suggested before attempting the application again. It's frustrating that EDD doesn't explain WHY they need this information upfront - a simple note saying "we need to determine if you qualify for a new claim or should continue your existing one" would save people so much confusion and stress!

I just went through this exact same thing two weeks ago after being laid off from a tech startup where I worked for about 4 months. The quarterly income reporting completely caught me off guard too - I had no memory of providing this level of detail when I originally filed. What helped me was creating a simple spreadsheet before starting the application where I organized all my pay periods by calendar quarter and calculated the gross amounts. For quarters where I wasn't working, I just entered $0 as others have mentioned. The whole process makes much more sense once you understand they're essentially deciding whether your recent work qualifies you for a new claim with potentially different benefits, or if you should just continue with your existing claim. Since you only worked 2 months like me, you'll most likely be placed back on your previous claim if there's still a balance. The pending status is totally normal while they cross-reference everything with employer records. Hang in there - it's frustrating but very standard procedure!
