I had two jobs during and before the pandemic. My second job was part time and I was only working for about 3 months before they let me go for covid. Well when I applied they keep basing my claim off my part time job basically with not too much income accumulated. Now I’m being told my funds are out so I filed a new claim with my first job before the part time and all they did was pay me for the remaining balance on the old claim and I have been stuck unable to receive benefits 😩 help or any insights would be great

I found a way to solve EDD claim income calculation issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oxar3FvgbE

I had a part time job before pandemic and I’ve only worked for a week and I had to let go for Covid-19 shut down. Edd needs last 18 months of income for eligibility so do you have other income before those two jobs? Have you called Edd and spoke with tier 2? $5 discount for Claimyr to call Edd less than an hour https://join.claimyr.com/49a083

Your benefits are calculated from your total of wage report to EDD by your employer. If you have wages from; 1.1st job - $2,000/month 2. 2nd job - $1,000/month EDD will calculates your benefits 1st job wages + 2nd wages ($3,000 - NOT $1,000). EDD selects your highest Q's W-2 income total for your Weekly benefits amount. Also, if you have 1st job income, you MUST report your income when you certify for benefits. Many claimants made mistakes that they can file UI for 1 job of 2 jobs. ex) You lost 2nd job and filed new claim. Your WBA $350. When you certify for benefits, you MUST report the weekly wages from 1st job. If you miss the wage report, you will get "overpayment" notice. If you are not sure, call EDD to file new claim or question regarding your new claim. https://join.claimyr.com/1373f0

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

I'm dealing with a similar situation where EDD isn't considering all my employment history when calculating benefits. From what I've learned, you should definitely push to speak with a Tier 2 representative as Katie mentioned. They have more authority to make corrections to your claim. Make sure you have all your W-2s and pay stubs from both jobs ready when you call. Sometimes it takes multiple calls and escalations, but don't give up - you're entitled to have ALL your qualifying wages included in the calculation, not just the most recent part-time job. Document everything and keep records of your calls. Good luck!
