How to check remaining EDD claim balance on UI Online account?

The claim balance should be right on your UI Online homepage after you log in. Look for a section called 'Claim Summary' - it usually appears on the right side of the screen. It'll show your weekly benefit amount and the total claim balance remaining. If you don't see it there, try clicking on the 'Claim History' tab and then look at your most recent payment - the remaining balance should show there too.

same thing happened to me when i first started getting benefits lol. the edd website is confusing af. took me like 3 weeks to figure out where everything was

To find your claim balance on UI Online: 1. Log in to your UI Online account 2. On the homepage, look for the 'Claim Summary' section 3. You'll see your weekly benefit amount and remaining balance If you don't see it there: 1. Click on 'Claim History' 2. Find your most recent payment 3. Your remaining balance should be displayed If you still can't find it, your claim may have special circumstances. In that case, you might need to speak with an EDD representative directly. Hope this helps!

To answer the question about the claim balance - it shows the total remaining benefits available on your current claim. The maximum benefit amount is typically 26 times your weekly benefit amount (for a standard UI claim), and it decreases each time you receive a payment. Once it reaches zero, your benefits are exhausted even if your benefit year hasn't ended yet.

I had this EXACT same problem last month! The UI Online site is so frustrating sometimes. BTW if you're having ANY issues with your claim and need to talk to someone at EDD (which I always seem to), I found this service called Claimyr that actually gets you through to an EDD agent without the endless calling and hanging up. It saved me hours of frustration when my payments got stuck. Their site is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km Just sharing because I know how impossible it feels to get actual help sometimes!

also if the website is being weird you can sometimes check your balance on the telecert phone line. just call the regular edd number and follow the prompts.

I think they changed where the balance shows last time they updated the UI Online site... My cousin had the same problem after the update but its back on the home page now I think. EDD is always making things more complicated lol

Just to add some additional information: If you want to track your claim balance more carefully, I recommend taking screenshots or keeping a spreadsheet. The EDD system sometimes has glitches where the balance may temporarily display incorrectly after certifications. By keeping your own records, you'll have a better idea of what your true remaining balance should be. Also, be aware that your claim balance may adjust if: - You report partial earnings that reduce your weekly payment - There's an overpayment adjustment - Your benefit amount is recalculated for any reason Keeping track yourself gives you more visibility and control over your unemployment budget planning.

Pro tip for everyone struggling with the EDD website - if you're on mobile, try switching to desktop view or using a computer instead. The mobile version of UI Online is even more confusing and sometimes doesn't display all the information correctly. I couldn't find my claim balance on my phone for the longest time, but it showed up fine when I logged in from my laptop. The desktop version is still terrible, but at least it's consistently terrible lol.

Another thing to keep in mind - if you're getting close to exhausting your regular UI benefits, you might want to look into whether you qualify for extended benefits or other programs. I learned this the hard way when my claim balance hit zero and I had no idea there were other options available. The EDD website doesn't really make it clear what happens next, so it's worth researching early rather than waiting until you're down to your last few weeks of benefits.
