EDD claim reopening about to expire mid-week - what happens to my benefits?

ur supposed 2 file a new claim when ur benefit year ends not reopen the old 1... u messed up

The previous comment isn't entirely accurate. When your benefit year expires, you'll need to file a new claim, but since you've already reopened the current one, the system will process payments up until the expiration date. After your benefit year ends on Wednesday, you'll need to file a completely new claim - not reopen the old one. You should receive payment for the partial week (Sunday through Wednesday), and then once your new claim is processed, you'd get payments for the remainder of that week (Thursday through Saturday) if you're eligible under the new claim. Be prepared for a possible gap in payments while your new claim is being processed. Make sure to file the new claim as soon as your benefit year expires.

I went through EXACTLY this last month!!! It was a NIGHTMARE!! EDD split my week into two payments, but then my new claim got stuck in pending for THREE WEEKS while they "verified my identity" again even though I'd already done the ID.me thing before. I kept certifying every two weeks but just saw PENDING PENDING PENDING and couldn't pay my rent on time. They never tell you about these weird situations on their website and the automated phone system is USELESS!

The system's designed to make everything as complicated as possible! I had a similar situation where my claim expired mid-week and I ended up missing out on three days of benefits because the EDD rep I finally reached gave me wrong information. Said I should wait until the following Sunday to file a new claim, but that was incorrect! The KEY is to file your new claim THE SAME DAY your benefit year ends. Not before, not after. And keep all documentation of when you submitted everything because they'll try to blame you if something goes wrong with their system.

I recommend using Claimyr if you need to actually speak with an EDD representative about your specific situation. I was in a similar confusing claim transition and couldn't get through on the regular line for weeks. Claimyr connected me to an EDD agent in about 15 minutes who fixed my claim issues on the spot. Their video explains how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km and their website is claimyr.com. Definitely worth it when you're dealing with time-sensitive issues like this where your benefits are at stake.

just wait till u have 2 deal with a HOLD on ur account lol thats when the real fun begins

To summarize the correct procedure for your situation: 1. Your current reopened claim will remain active until the benefit year expiration date 2. You should receive payment for the partial week (Sunday-Wednesday) 3. File a NEW claim (not reopened) on the day your benefit year expires 4. Continue certifying for benefits as usual 5. Prepare for potential delays as your new claim is processed 6. If you haven't received payment for the second half of the split week within 10 days of filing your new claim, that's when you should contact EDD Be aware that your weekly benefit amount may change with your new claim, as it will be based on your earnings during your most recent base period.

UPDATE: I managed to get through to EDD this morning after calling repeatedly since 8:01am. The representative confirmed what @helpful_expert said - my current claim will process payments until Wednesday, then I need to file a new claim that same day. She also put a note on my account about the situation to help avoid delays. Thanks everyone for your advice!
