Started new job - how to properly end EDD unemployment benefits?

Congratulations on your new job! You have two options: 1) You can stop certifying altogether, or 2) You can continue certifying but report your work and earnings accurately. Option #2 is technically the correct approach. For your training days, yes, you should absolutely report those hours even if you haven't been paid yet. EDD asks about work performed, not just when you received payment. When you certify, you'll report your hours worked, estimated earnings, and answer "yes" to the question about whether you worked.

just stop certifying thats all i did when i got hired back in febuary. they dont care as long as u dont try to double dip!!

Ok so i was in ur same situation last October. Heres what I did: 1. certified one last time and reported the new job and hours worked 2. reported my estimated earnings before i even got my first paycheck 3. answered YES to finding full time work 4. after that just stopped certifying EDD adjusted my final payment based on the hours I reported. I got a partial payment for the days I wasn't working. The system automatically closed my claim after several weeks of not certifying. Never had any problems after that!

I'm confused about something similar... I got a part-time job (not full-time like OP) and I'm not sure if I should keep certifying or what??? Anyone know the rules for part-time work with EDD??

Make sure you certify for that final period and report your work/hours accurately. The biggest mistake people make is just disappearing without properly closing their claim. This can lead to overpayment notices months later when EDD matches employment records with your claim. Also, keep your UI Online account information (username/password) accessible for at least a year. You might need to log in later to get your 1099-G for tax purposes, or if there are any issues that need resolution.

I tried calling EDD to notify them when I got a job and it was IMPOSSIBLE to get through! Spent days trying different numbers and times, always got the "we're experiencing high call volumes" message. So frustrating. I finally found Claimyr (claimyr.com) which got me connected to an EDD rep within 15 minutes. They have a demo video of how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The rep confirmed I should just certify one last time with my work info and that would properly close things out. Worth it for peace of mind!

Everyone saying "just stop certifying" is WRONG! The official EDD procedure is to report your return to work during your final certification period. You need to indicate the date you started working, report any hours/wages for that period, and answer YES to the question about obtaining full-time work. If you don't do this proper closeout, EDD might continue thinking you're eligible and could even issue payments you're not entitled to. Then months later when their system catches up, you'll get hit with an overpayment notice plus potential penalties!

wait do i need to call them too or just do the online certification thing?? the website is so confusing

Thanks everyone for the great advice! Just submitted my final certification and reported my training days. The system reduced my payment for those days but still gave me benefits for the days I didn't work. I answered YES to finding full-time work and put my start date. Feels good to have this handled properly! Appreciate all the help from this community.
