EDD status changed from 'pending review' to 'no weeks to certify' after interview - still disqualified?

probaly means ur claim is denied bcause of som eligibility issue. when my claim got denied last yr it did the same thing - said no weeks to certify and my weeks styed disqualified. check ur inbox for messages, sometimes they dont send the letter right away.

This doesn't necessarily mean your claim is denied. The "no weeks to certify" status combined with previously disqualified weeks could mean several things: 1. Your claim is still under review after the interview, but the system automatically stops certification until a decision is made 2. There could be an identity verification issue that needs resolving 3. The interview revealed potential eligibility issues they're still investigating The disqualification of those weeks might be temporary until they make a final determination. Did anything specific come up during your phone interview that might explain the disqualification?

Ugh, sorry you're going through this! This EXACT thing happened to me back in March. The "no weeks to certify" status drove me CRAZY because I had no idea what it meant!!! For me, it turned out that they had flagged my claim for an identity verification issue, but the notice got sent to my physical address instead of showing up in my UI Online inbox. Did you complete ID.me verification when you first applied? If not, that might be the holdup.

the EDD system is a complete disaster. I bet they never even processed your interview correctly. Half the time these reps don't even know what they're doing and just leave claims in limbo. You're going to be waiting FOREVER unless you can actually reach someone competent on the phone.

Based on my experience with EDD claims, here's what's likely happening: When your status changes from "pending review" to "no weeks to certify" while previously certified weeks remain "disqualified," it usually means the claim is still being processed but they've put a hold on allowing further certifications until they make a determination. The disqualification of your initial weeks (8/31-9/14) is probably temporary and will update once they complete their review. However, if there was something in your interview or application that raised eligibility questions, they may maintain the disqualification. What you should do: 1. Check both your UI Online inbox AND your physical mail daily 2. Look for a Notice of Determination letter (this explains eligibility decisions) 3. If you don't receive anything within 3-5 business days, call EDD 4. If you receive a disqualification, you have 30 days to appeal Don't panic yet - the system often shows strange statuses during processing.

im going thru somthing similar & finally got to talk to somone yesterday... they said my disqualified weeks were bcuz they needed more info about my job separration. did your interviewer say they needed more info from u??

Just to follow up - have you checked your Claim History page, not just your homepage? Sometimes the claim history will show pending payments even when the homepage shows disqualified. Also, double-check your Contact Preferences to make sure they have the correct mailing address and email on file.

I had a similar situation back in January. After my phone interview, my status changed to "no weeks to certify" and my previous weeks showed as disqualified. I was worried like you, but about a week later, I received a Notice of Determination in the mail approving my claim, and my online status updated to allow certification again. The previously disqualified weeks were also retroactively approved. The key thing is that EDD processes often don't update in real-time on their website. Their system might show one status while they're still working on your claim behind the scenes. I'd recommend waiting until at least the 2-week mark after your interview before getting too concerned. If you don't see any updates by then, definitely call them. The phone lines are ridiculous, but morning calls (right when they open) on Tuesdays or Wednesdays seemed to work best for me.

I'm dealing with something very similar right now! My status also changed from "pending review" to "no weeks to certify" after my interview about a week ago. What's really frustrating is that EDD's online system seems to lag behind their actual processing. One thing I learned from calling (after many, many attempts) is that the "no weeks to certify" status doesn't necessarily mean your claim is denied - it often just means they've temporarily suspended certification while they complete their review process. The rep told me this is actually pretty common after eligibility interviews. Have you tried calling the 2511 number early in the morning? I had better luck getting through around 8:05 AM on weekdays. It's still a nightmare, but slightly better odds than calling later in the day. Keep checking your mail too - sometimes the determination letters arrive before the online system updates. Hang in there!

I went through this exact same situation last year and I know how stressful it is! The "no weeks to certify" status after an eligibility interview is actually more common than you'd think - it doesn't automatically mean denial. What likely happened is that after your interview, they flagged your claim for additional review (probably verifying your layoff with your former employer like you mentioned). During this verification period, the system automatically stops allowing new certifications and keeps your existing weeks in "disqualified" status until they make a final decision. The good news is that if they approve your claim, those disqualified weeks will flip to "paid" retroactively, and you'll get all the back pay at once. The bad news is EDD's timeline of "10 days" is more like a suggestion than a guarantee. A few things to watch for: - Check your mail daily for a Notice of Determination - Look for any requests for additional documentation - If you hit the 3-week mark with no updates, definitely call Try not to stress too much (easier said than done, I know). The fact that they scheduled an interview instead of just denying you outright is actually a positive sign. They're taking the time to properly review your case rather than making a quick decision.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now and it's driving me crazy! Had my phone interview 8 days ago, status changed from "pending review" to "no weeks to certify" just like yours, and my first two weeks are still showing as disqualified. Reading through all these responses is actually really helpful - I had no idea this was such a common experience. I was convinced they had denied my claim without telling me. The explanation about the system temporarily suspending certification during their review process makes so much sense. One thing I noticed is that when I log into UI Online, there's sometimes a slight delay between different pages updating. Like my homepage might show "no weeks to certify" but if I click around to different sections, sometimes I can see slightly different status information. Not sure if that's helpful for anyone else, but thought I'd mention it. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - it's really reassuring to know this limbo period is normal and that those "disqualified" weeks can still get approved retroactively. Definitely going to try calling early morning if I don't hear anything by next week!

I'm in almost the identical situation right now and this thread has been a lifesaver! Had my phone interview 6 days ago, and just like you my status went from "pending review" to "no weeks to certify" with my initial two weeks still showing as disqualified. I was absolutely convinced they had rejected my claim silently. What's really reassuring is hearing from @Omar Zaki and @Ella Harper that this happened to them too and their claims were eventually approved with retroactive payments. I had no idea the "disqualified" status could be temporary during their review process - I thought that was a final decision! The part about them needing to verify your layoff with your former employer really resonates with me. During my interview, the rep mentioned they would be doing "additional verification" but didn't specify what that meant. Now I'm wondering if they're just waiting to hear back from my previous company. I'm going to follow everyone's advice and wait the full two weeks before panicking, but it's so hard when rent is due and you're in this weird limbo! Thanks for posting this question - knowing I'm not alone in this confusing situation makes it much more bearable.

I'm going through the exact same situation and this thread has been such a huge help! Had my eligibility interview 5 days ago, and my status also changed from "pending review" to "no weeks to certify" with my first two weeks stuck in "disqualified" status. What's been driving me crazy is that the EDD rep told me "7-10 business days" for a decision, but didn't explain what all these status changes would mean in the meantime. I was totally panicking thinking the disqualification was final! Reading everyone's experiences here - especially @Omar Zaki and @Ella Harper sharing that their disqualified weeks eventually flipped to "paid" retroactively - has given me so much hope. I had no idea this was such a common part of their review process. The hardest part is not knowing if I should be looking for work or planning my budget around potentially getting those benefits. The uncertainty is brutal when you're already stressed about finances. Thank you @LunarLegend for posting this question and everyone for sharing your stories. It's amazing how much better it feels knowing this confusing limbo period is normal and not just something wrong with my specific case!

I'm going through this EXACT same thing right now and finding this thread has been such a relief! Had my eligibility interview 4 days ago, and just like everyone else here, my status changed from "pending review" to "no weeks to certify" with my initial weeks showing as disqualified. I was absolutely convinced they had denied my claim without any notification - the anxiety has been through the roof! But reading all these experiences, especially from people like @Omar Zaki and @Ella Harper who went through the same thing and eventually got approved with retroactive pay, has given me so much hope. What really gets me is how EDD gives you zero explanation for what these status changes actually mean during their review process. Like @Yuki Tanaka said, a simple "your claim is under review, certification temporarily suspended" message would prevent so much panic! Instead we're all here trying to decode their mysterious system together. The waiting is absolutely brutal when you're depending on these benefits for rent and groceries. I keep refreshing my UI Online account hoping something will change, but I'm going to try to follow everyone's advice and wait the full two weeks before calling. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories - knowing this confusing limbo is actually normal makes it so much more bearable. This community is amazing for helping newcomers understand EDD's frustrating process!
