Hey I was told my claim was backdated 2 weeks ago today? Does anyone know how long it usually takes before I can certify for the back weeks?  Also when I log in there’s a yellow attention box that says I may need to reapply for benefits.

I found a way to solve certifying for backdated EDD claims, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnUPXG3ms6g

It can take 2-3 weeks but I would suggest you to contact edd again to check your backdate claim status and to see if they can push it through today. If you want to try claimyr for EDD call with $5 discount, https://join.claimyr.com/49a083 Edd opens at 8 am so call to speak.

To all those having trouble reaching a human at California Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI
