They just told me they are not backdating no more ca is not doing it and hung up on me

You just gotta keep calling you gone get sun one who back date you over the phone

You gotta call back and say the lady hung up on you when you asked to backdate and they’ll lift that ! Use all your 10 calls if you have to because they tried that with me and someone lifted it and backdated my claim to March

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

From what I've heard from others who've been through the backdate interview process, they typically ask about why you didn't file your claim earlier, what prevented you from filing on time, and details about your employment situation during the period you're trying to backdate. They want to understand if there was good cause for the delay. Make sure you have documentation ready to support your reasons - like medical records if you were sick, or any other evidence that shows why you couldn't file earlier. The 6-8 week timeframe sounds about right unfortunately. Stay persistent and keep following up! Good luck with your interview!
