DQ redetermination qualification on EDD payment activity - what does this mean?

I had the exact same thing happen two months ago! \

Omg that's such a relief! Thank you! Did you have to call them or do anything to make this happen? Or did it just automatically update to paid?

\

u dont always get a notice tho. i never got 1 when mine changed from DQ to qualified. the money just showed up on my card like 4 days later

i think it means ur gettin paid!! my cousin had the same thing where they DQ'd him for answering a question wrong on certification then they fixed it WITHOUT HIM EVEN CALLING and put that exact same status. money came like 3 days later i think

This happened to me back in January. The DQ redetermination qualification status means nothing until the money hits your account! I had that status for 3 WEEKS with nothing happening. Had to call EDD every single day just to get someone to actually push the payment through. Their systems are completely broken and nothing happens automatically like it should.\n\nThe problem is YOU CANT GET THROUGH ON THE PHONE! I tried for days hitting redial hundreds of times and always got the \

That sounds awful! I really hope I don't have to go through that. Did you eventually get your money?

Yes but only after I figured out how to actually talk to someone. I used this service called Claimyr that got me through to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes instead of doing the endless redial game. Found it after someone mentioned it here. Their site is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km\n\nOnly way I finally got it resolved because the rep was able to manually release the payment once I explained the situation. Sometimes things get stuck in their system and just sit there until someone pushes it through.

This makes so much sense now! I think what happened is that I accidentally put that I wasn't available for work one day when I actually was (I misunderstood the question). Then I called and explained the mistake to them about 10 days ago. Sounds like they fixed it! Thank you for the detailed explanation!

are u sure it doesnt say \

Just checked again and it definitely says \

ok cool then ur good! just wanted to make sure since the terms look similar but mean different things. u should get paid soon!

my freind got this an she had money in 2 days after. its good news dont worry!!!

UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know that my payment status changed from pending to paid this morning! The money isn't in my account yet but at least it's showing as paid now. Thanks for all your help explaining what was going on!

Great news! The funds should appear in your account within 24-48 hours, depending on whether you have direct deposit or the Money Network card. Glad to hear it worked out for you!

Awesome! Told you it was good news! 😊

Guess u got lucky! Some of us have to fight for every penny from EDD while others just get it automatically. The system is so inconsistent it's ridiculous.

I had a similar thing on my account last year but mine said

No, \

Congrats on getting it resolved! I'm dealing with something similar right now - my account shows "DQ redetermination qualification" for the past week and I'm hoping it means the same thing. Did you notice any other changes in your UI Online account before the status switched to paid, or did it just suddenly change overnight?

This is so helpful to read! I'm currently dealing with the same "DQ redetermination qualification" status and was panicking thinking something was wrong with my claim. Seeing that so many people got paid after seeing this status gives me hope. @Ezra Beard thanks for posting this and updating us - it really helps to know what to expect. I've been unemployed for 6 weeks now and every little thing makes me nervous about my benefits. Hopefully mine processes as smoothly as yours did!

I'm going through this exact same thing right now! My account has been showing "DQ redetermination qualification" for the past 3 days and I've been so stressed about it. Reading through all these responses is such a relief - it sounds like this is actually a good sign that they're fixing whatever issue they found. @Ezra Beard thanks for sharing your experience and keeping us updated! It's really helpful to see the timeline of how yours played out. I'm hoping mine resolves just as quickly. Been out of work for 2 months now after my restaurant closed down, so every day counts. Fingers crossed I see that status change to paid soon too!

This thread is incredibly helpful! I'm dealing with the exact same "DQ redetermination qualification" status right now and was terrified I had done something wrong. Reading everyone's experiences here is such a huge relief - it sounds like this is actually EDD fixing issues rather than creating new problems. I've been unemployed for about 5 weeks after getting laid off from my office job and every little change in the system sends me into panic mode. @Ezra Beard thank you so much for posting this and following up with updates! It's so reassuring to see that yours got resolved quickly. Based on all the responses here, it seems like most people see their payments go through within a few days to a week after this status appears. Really hoping mine follows the same pattern because I'm definitely in the same stressed-about-rent situation you were in!

I'm currently seeing this exact same status on my account too! Been showing "DQ redetermination qualification" for about 2 days now and I was getting really worried until I found this thread. It's such a relief to see so many people had positive outcomes after seeing this status. I got laid off from my manufacturing job about 3 weeks ago and this is my first time dealing with unemployment benefits, so every little thing in the system confuses me. @Ezra Beard thanks for posting this and updating everyone - it really helps to know what to expect! Based on all these responses it sounds like this is actually a good sign that they're processing payments rather than holding them up. Fingers crossed mine changes to paid soon too!

This thread is a lifesaver! I've been seeing "DQ redetermination qualification" on my account for the past 4 days and was absolutely convinced I had screwed something up on my weekly certification. I've been unemployed for about 7 weeks after my retail store closed permanently, and every weird status change sends me into full panic mode about losing my benefits. Reading through everyone's experiences here is such a huge relief - it sounds like this is actually EDD's way of saying they're reviewing and fixing something before paying out, not that there's a problem with my claim. @Ezra Beard thank you so much for posting this question and following up with your updates! It really helps to see the whole timeline of how yours played out. Based on all these responses, it seems like most people see their status change to paid within a week, which gives me hope that mine will resolve soon too. The waiting is definitely the hardest part, especially when rent and bills are piling up!

Just wanted to add my experience to help others who might be going through this! I had the exact same "DQ redetermination qualification" status show up on my account about 3 months ago and was absolutely terrified I had done something wrong. Like many others here, I had accidentally answered one of the certification questions incorrectly (said I wasn't able to work when I actually was - those questions are so confusing!). I called EDD to correct it and then saw this status appear about a week later. It stayed there for 6 days before switching to paid, and the money hit my account the next day. No additional notifications or messages, it just updated on its own. The worst part is definitely the waiting and not knowing what's happening, but based on all these stories it really does seem like this status means they're actively fixing whatever the issue was. For anyone currently dealing with this - try not to stress too much (easier said than done, I know!). It sounds like this is actually a good sign that your claim is being processed rather than ignored!

I'm so grateful I found this thread! I'm currently seeing the exact same "DQ redetermination qualification" status on my account as of yesterday and was having a complete meltdown thinking I had somehow ruined my claim. I've been unemployed for about 5 weeks after getting laid off from my tech job and this is my first time ever filing for unemployment, so every little status change feels terrifying. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been such a huge relief - it sounds like this is actually EDD working to resolve issues rather than creating new problems. The fact that so many people got paid after seeing this status gives me so much hope! @Ezra Beard thank you for posting this question and keeping us all updated with your progress. It really helps to see the whole journey from start to finish. Based on all these responses, it seems like most people see their payments come through within 3-7 days, which makes the waiting a little more bearable. Fingers crossed mine follows the same pattern because rent is definitely looming! It's amazing how this one thread has turned my panic into cautious optimism.
