Interstate claims (collect, extension, EDD, work)

[Jnet57]

I live in California and I am on Tier 1.

I am contemplating a move to Pittsburgh and I want to make certain I am clear on how interstate claim reporting works.

I understand once I am in Pittsburgh, I need to register with their unemployment office and notify CA of where I am now seeking work. I figured I would leave with a CA claim form and report the new address in order to maintain consistency. I think there may be a lapse in time, before receiving a new claim form, while CA does whatever they have to do or not do when someone moves to another state. CA continues to be the state to administer my UI, correct? My BYE is sometime in September and I think I will be on Tier 2, or close to starting it.

Also, when there is a reduction in the unemployment rate, which state will I "fall" under, CA or PA? If it is PA, would extension benefits cease completely or be reduced in weeks, if their unemployment rate is lower than the national?

Thank you.

You might want to call EDD and report that address change before you move. It might avoid a delay in sending future claim forms. Also, I'm not so sure CA requires you register with PA. PA is not the easiest state to deal with. I would ask EDD about that when you report the change of address.

How do I report an address change or telephone number change on my UI claim?
You can report an address change using three methods:
1. On the bi-weekly certification, Continued Claim Form, DE 4581, mark the box on question 8, and complete Section D on the reverse side of form. Claimants who wish to change their address cannot do so while using EDD Web-CertSM or EDD Tele-CertSM certification methods.
2. You can also report an address or telephone number change by telephone. Contact UI and we will change your address while you're on the telephone. To protect your privacy, be prepared to provide claim verification information.
3. Write us a letter and include the following information:

• Your name
• Social Security number
• New address and/or telephone number
• Your signature

Mail the letter to:
UI Consolidated Service Center - North
PO Box 269017
Sacramento, CA 95826

OR

UI Consolidated Service Center - South
PO Box 19010
San Bernardino, CA 92423

CA will automatically take care of the recertification at your bye - if you have not worked during your benefit year. Keep claiming.

If you worked during your benefit year, YOU need to submit a new claim application online in order to trigger the recertification process.

California.

Per FAQS:

9. I want to move to another state. Can I still collect benefits?

Yes. Your benefits are not affected by resident state triggers if you move, only those applicable to your claiming state.
