How do I report to EDD that I found a job and no longer need unemployment benefits?

Congrats on the new job! When you certify for the weeks including your start date, you'll report your employment and earnings. Continue certifying until your first full week of work. On the certification questions, answer "yes" to the question about whether you worked, enter your employer info and earnings. The system will automatically stop benefits once your earnings exceed your weekly benefit amount. There's no separate "closing" form. Keep your UI Online account accessible for at least a year in case you need to check any notices.

omg make sure u report it right!! my friend didnt report her job properly and EDD came after her for $4200 in overpayment plus penalties a year later!! nightmare!!

I got a job back in March and just stopped certifying altogether. Nobody contacted me about anything. I think youre overthinking it tbh

Here's exactly what you need to do (I was an EDD specialist for 5 years): 1. Continue certifying until you've worked a full week 2. Report your employment and ALL earnings accurately 3. Once your earnings exceed your weekly benefit amount, benefits stop automatically 4. If your job doesn't work out within your benefit year (12 months from when you filed), you can reopen your claim online 5. If it's after your benefit year ends, you would need to file a new claim One important thing: your claim remains active for the full benefit year, even if you stop certifying. This means if something happens with your job in 3-4 months, you can simply start certifying again (as long as it's within that original 12-month period).

Dont 4get that when u report ur job, they'll ask if you're working full time even if ur hours are less than 40. If ur considered full time at ur company (even if its like 32 hrs) say YES to that question. This matters cuz they can disqualify you based on full-time status even if ur not making much $$$

I was in this exact situation last month. I tried calling EDD to make sure I was doing everything correctly but couldn't get through for days. I was super stressed about messing something up and getting hit with penalties. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me connected to an EDD rep in about 20 minutes. The rep confirmed everything the others here have said - just report your employment when certifying and they'll automatically stop your benefits. You can see how it works in their video demo: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km. Totally worth it for the peace of mind knowing I was handling everything correctly.

soooo do we have to pay taxes on unemployment?? just wonderinggg

Update: I certified today and reported my new employment with all the earnings. The system gave me a message saying I earned too much to receive benefits for that week. Looks like it worked exactly as you all said it would! Thanks everyone for the help!
