Does anyone know if edd has a duty to notify claimants of interview for eligibility issues discovered at beginning of benefit year yet waited 18 mos after last payment . Subsequently they called and number was disconnected so they made determination to my acct for a staggering 25000$+ filed summary judgment to levy and garnish . I had no idea until I filed for ui recently. Just wondering if I can raise due process violation with superior court …

Glad to hear your payment came through! For future reference for anyone reading this thread: EDD payments typically follow this timeline: 1. Certification processing: 24-48 hours after you certify 2. Status changes to "paid" in UI Online: Usually same day or next day after processing 3. Bank of America processes the transfer: 24 hours 4. Your bank processes the incoming deposit: 24-48 hours depending on your bank So from certification to deposit can take 2-4 days in normal circumstances. Holiday weekends, system maintenance, or high volume periods can add delays. As long as your status shows "paid" in the portal, the money is on its way!

I'm new to the EDD system and just certified for the first time this past Sunday. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring! I was getting worried when I didn't see my deposit this morning, but it sounds like delays of a few hours are totally normal. My status shows "paid" so I guess I just need to be patient. Thanks everyone for sharing your timelines - it's so helpful to know what to expect as someone who's never dealt with this before!

Hey Sean! I totally understand the panic - I was in the same boat a few months ago. Just wanted to add that you should also be prepared to talk about any training or education you might be interested in. They sometimes offer programs or resources that could help you level up your skills while job hunting. Also, don't feel like you have to have everything perfect. I literally had some applications where I just wrote "Applied through Indeed - no direct company contact info available" and they were completely fine with it. They get that the job market has changed and most applications happen online now. One more thing - if you're feeling overwhelmed during the appointment, don't be afraid to ask them to slow down or repeat something. They're used to people being nervous and they want you to succeed. The whole point is to help you, not trip you up. You're going to do great! Just be honest about your efforts and you'll be fine. 🙌

Hey Sean! I just had my RESEA appointment yesterday and wanted to share what actually happened to hopefully ease your anxiety a bit. The whole thing was way less scary than I built it up to be in my head. Here's the real deal: **What they actually asked about:** • How my job search was going overall • What types of positions I was targeting • Any challenges I was running into (childcare, transportation, skills gaps, etc.) • If I needed help with resume or interview prep **What they didn't stress about:** • Missing company addresses (seriously, they didn't even ask) • Which job sites I was using - Indeed was perfectly fine • Having every tiny detail documented perfectly The counselor spent most of the time asking how they could help me, not grilling me about what I'd done wrong. They offered some resources I didn't know about and even helped me think through my search strategy. Mine was scheduled for 2 hours but took about 1 hour 20 minutes. The time flies by faster than you think because it's mostly just a conversation. My advice: Go in with the mindset that they're there to help you succeed, not catch you messing up. Because that's actually what it is! You've got this! 💪

I know everyone's saying you'll lose your balance, but I actually managed to get an extension last year through a special program when my regular UI ran out. You might want to specifically ask about extensions when you talk to EDD. Different rules apply in different situations.

I went through this exact situation a few months ago and it's really frustrating! Lost about $2,200 when my benefit year ended. One thing I wish I had known - make sure you have all your wage documentation ready before you file the new claim. Since you mentioned doing gig work, gather all your 1099s, bank statements showing deposits, and any other proof of earnings. EDD can be really picky about gig work documentation and having everything organized upfront will save you headaches later. Also, if you do qualify for a new claim but the weekly amount is much lower than your current one, don't panic - sometimes there are calculation errors that can be fixed if you can prove higher earnings.

I'm going through the exact same nightmare right now! Filed in late January and it's like my claim just vanished into thin air. The most infuriating part is when you finally get through to someone and they act like they're doing you a huge favor by looking at your account, only to tell you to "keep waiting" with no actual timeline. What really gets me is how they can just hold up people's livelihood for months without any accountability. We're talking about rent, groceries, basic survival needs - not some optional government service. The stress of not knowing when (or if) this will get resolved is honestly worse than being unemployed in the first place. I'm definitely going to try the assembly member suggestion after reading these responses. It's ridiculous that we have to go to elected officials just to get a basic government service to function, but at this point I'll try anything. Thanks to everyone sharing their experiences and advice - at least knowing we're not alone in this mess helps a little bit.

I'm so sorry you're going through this - the whole EDD "recompute" situation is absolutely maddening! I went through something similar last year where my claim was stuck for 7 weeks with the exact same symptoms (no weeks to certify, $0 everything, complete radio silence). Here's what I learned: when they say "supervisors need to recompute," it usually means there's a wage verification issue or employment history discrepancy that got flagged in their system. The problem is their automated system can't resolve it, but human specialists can fix it in minutes once they actually look at your case. A few things that helped me: - Document EVERYTHING (dates, times, rep names, reference numbers) - When calling, specifically ask for "wage and claim determination specialist" - If you get the runaround, politely but firmly ask to speak with a supervisor - File a "Request for Information" through UI Online even if it seems pointless The assembly member route that others mentioned here is golden - my friend used that approach and got her claim resolved within a week after months of waiting. Don't feel bad about "bothering" them - constituent services for stuff like this is literally part of their job. Hang in there! The system is broken but your claim will eventually get processed. The backpay when it finally comes through will include everything you're owed.
