Need help with EDD reapplication process - when should I reapply?

Usually, you need to reapply every year when your benefit year ends. Have you checked your account online? It should show your last application date.

Ugh, reapplying is such a pain. I swear they make it complicated on purpose to discourage people. Good luck, OP!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone to help with reapplying! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/0UZGuPWGErg

Here's a detailed breakdown of the reapplication process: 1. Check your benefit year end date. It's usually 12 months from when you first applied. 2. You can reapply up to 2 weeks before your benefit year ends. 3. Gather all your employment info for the past 18 months. 4. Go to the official unemployment website and look for the 'File New Claim' option. 5. Fill out the application carefully. Double-check everything! 6. Submit and wait. It can take 2-3 weeks to process. 7. If approved, you'll need to certify for benefits every two weeks. Remember, rules might vary slightly depending on your state. Always check the official website for the most up-to-date info.

am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get help? 🤔 system is broken af

Quick question: does anyone know if reapplying affects your weekly benefit amount? I'm worried it might go down if I reapply.

PSA: Be super careful when reapplying! I made a tiny mistake on my form and it delayed my benefits for weeks. Triple check everything before you submit!
