Disqualified then received EDDCAN number - confused about my EDD claim status

This sounds like EDD might be processing two separate claims for you - one related to your Davis Marketing position (which was disqualified) and another considering your DoorDash work. The EDDCAN number and tax withholding message are good signs that at least one claim is still active in their system. I recommend calling EDD to clarify your situation. Ask specifically about the status of your claim with DoorDash as the last employer, and mention both the disqualification notice and the new EDDCAN letter. You'll want them to explain exactly which claim is active and what periods you can certify for. Regarding the disqualification for the Davis Marketing position, you should consider appealing if their reason was inaccurate. You have 30 days from the notice date to file an appeal.

DEFINETLY appeal that disqualification! The same thing happened to me last yr. My employer said I was terminated for "excessive tardiness" when they told me it was a position elimination. I appealed and WON because they couldn't provide any documentation of warnings or write-ups. The judge at the hearing basically called them out for trying to avoid their UI tax increase. Meanwhile, yes go ahead and certify for any weeks that become available. If your eligible through the DoorDash work, you'll get paid. If not, you won't lose anything by certifying. Just be 100% honest on those certifications.

Have u certified for any weeks yet or is this a brand new claim? The way EDD works is super confusing but what might have happened is they initially disqualified u based on Davis Marketing info, then reconsidered with DoorDash. The EDDCAN number is def a good sign!!!! That's ur Customer Account Number that's assigned to active claims.

I work in HR and can tell you that "time clock manipulation" is a very specific accusation that requires evidence. If you truly didn't have access to modify time records, your former employer will have a hard time proving this during an appeal. Make sure to emphasize in your appeal that only HR had access to modify time records in your system. Ask for a copy of your personnel file too - they're required to provide it within 30 days in California.

If your trying to get ahold of EDD to sort this out, I highly recommend using Claimyr. I was in a similar situation with conflicting letters and spent WEEKS trying to get through on the phone. Claimyr got me connected to an actual EDD rep in less than 30 minutes! They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The EDD rep was able to see both claims in their system and explained exactly what was happening. Worth every penny because I was able to get my benefits started the following week instead of being stuck in limbo.

@profile4 Yes it actually works! Go to claimyr.com - I was skeptical too but I was at my wits end. Got through to EDD within 25 minutes after trying for days on my own.

OMG the exact same thing happened to my sister!!! She got a disqualification letter on Monday and then on Wednesday got another letter with certification instructions. She just went ahead and certified and got paid!! EDD is such a mess, their left hand doesn't know what the right is doing half the time.

To answer your question about appealing - you should definitely still file the appeal for the disqualification even if you start receiving benefits through the DoorDash claim. Here's why: 1. The disqualification could affect your benefit amount (your Davis job likely paid more than DoorDash) 2. It protects you if there are any future issues with the DoorDash claim 3. A disqualification for misconduct could affect future unemployment claims 4. You have a limited window to appeal (30 days from notice date) You can file an appeal online through UI Online or by mailing in the appeal form that came with your disqualification notice. Be very specific about the facts - that you were told it was a layoff due to restructuring, that you didn't have access to time clock systems, and that there were no prior disciplinary actions related to this issue.

Keep them separate in your appeal. The appeal should focus solely on the facts surrounding your separation from Davis Marketing. You don't need to mention anything about DoorDash or another claim in your appeal statement. The judge will only be concerned with whether your termination from Davis was for misconduct or not.

LOL classic EDD giving you a disqualification and an approval at the same time!!!!!! There computer systems are from like 1980 or somthing, i swear. Just go ahead and certify whenever it lets you, worst they can do is say no. But yeah you need to deal with that bogus misconduct thing too or itll follow you around.

Was the EDDCAN number on both letters the same? If it's two different numbers that would confirm you have two separate claims being processed. If it's the same number on both letters, then EDD might have just made a correction to your existing claim. Either way, you should be able to see your claim status on UI Online. Check the Claim Summary section.

If they're the same EDDCAN but now showing DoorDash as employer, it sounds like they may have actually revised your claim rather than created a new one. This is actually good news! It likely means they shifted the base period of your claim to focus on your DoorDash earnings instead of your Davis Marketing employment. Definitely still file that appeal for the Davis disqualification though. If you win, they might recalculate your benefits to include the higher wages, depending on your base period.

This situation is more common than you'd think! When EDD processes claims, they sometimes initially evaluate based on one employer but then shift to another if the first doesn't meet eligibility requirements. Since you have the same EDDCAN number on both letters but now see DoorDash as your employer in UI Online, it looks like they redirected your claim to use your gig work earnings instead. Here's what I'd recommend: 1. Go ahead and certify when your weeks become available - the system is clearly set up for you to receive benefits 2. Still file that appeal for the Davis Marketing disqualification ASAP (you have 30 days from the notice date) 3. Keep detailed records of everything - screenshots of UI Online, copies of all letters, etc. The fact that you're seeing tax withholding options means your claim is definitely active. Don't let the conflicting letters stress you out too much - EDD's communication is notoriously confusing, but the important thing is that you have an active claim number and can certify for benefits while you're job searching. Good luck with everything, and definitely fight that misconduct determination if you know it's false!

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!
