Just finished EDD 10-week false statement penalty - what happens with payments now?

You don't have to serve another waiting period after penalty weeks - that's only for brand new claims. Just certify as usual on your regular schedule, and you should get paid for both weeks (assuming you meet all eligibility requirements). Your benefit year doesn't restart after penalties.

Wow congrats on making it thru! Such a nightmare when they hit u with those penalty weeks!! I had 6 weeks last yr and almost lost my apartment 😫

I think you have to wait a week still. When i finished my penalty time they made me wait another week but that was back in january so maybe its changed?

I went through this exact situation last month. You certify on your regular schedule, and as long as you meet all the requirements (work search, availability, etc.), you'll get paid for both weeks. There's no second waiting period. BUT - and this is important - make sure your contact info is up to date in the system. Sometimes after penalty weeks, they flag your account for an eligibility interview just to make sure everything is kosher before resuming payments. If they can't reach you, it could cause delays. Also, double-check that your claim is still active. If your benefit year ended during your penalty period, you might need to file a new claim, which WOULD trigger another waiting week.

same boat last year! the regular certification schedule just picks back up where u left off. no extra waiting.

Have you tried calling EDD directly? I know it's nearly impossible to get through, but I had success using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to connect with an EDD rep after struggling for weeks. They have a service that helps you bypass the phone queue and actually get to speak with someone. Check out their demo at https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km - it worked for me when I had questions about my appeal process. The rep I spoke with was able to tell me exactly what would happen after my disqualification was removed.

btw what kinda false statement did they get u for? just curious cuz i hear they r getting super strict lately

One more important thing - after serving penalty weeks, your account might be flagged for more careful review of your certifications. Make sure you're super accurate with your work search activities and any earnings reported. They sometimes scrutinize accounts more closely after penalties have been served.

The whole EDD system is designed to make people fail! They deliberately make the questions confusing, then punish you when you answer wrong. My cousin lost her ENTIRE claim because she checked the wrong box about self-employment income. No warning, no chance to explain - just BOOM, 23 weeks of penalties! The system is BROKEN and the politicians don't care.

Just went through this exact same thing 3 months ago! You're good to go - no additional waiting period needed. Just certify on your normal schedule and you should get paid for both weeks assuming you meet all the regular eligibility requirements. The waiting week is only for brand new claims, not after penalty periods end. One heads up though - they might send you a notice asking you to confirm your work search activities for the first few certifications after penalties. They did that to me and a few others I know who went through penalty periods. Nothing to worry about, just make sure you have your job search documentation ready if they ask for it. Hang in there, the worst part is behind you now! 💪
