Hello Everyone,
Sadly, I'm still out of work here in California. I'm applying like crazy and feel very humbled. I'm ashamed to say I just didn't think it would be this hard to find a new job.
I'm about to end my 26 weeks of my initial claim here in California. My last date of employment was 8/15/12, but with the waiting week and the time it took California EDD to mail me my Bank of America debit card, I didn't receive my first payment until around 9/3 I think. The EDD website lists this graph below and there's a big difference between Tier 1 benefits if they count my benefits as starting on 8/15, which was my last official day of work, vs if they count it from the first week I received benefits.
I really hope I get employed soon and don't even have to think about this. I've got a lot of car repairs and other things to pay for that I just can't afford on unemployment, but just in case I have to take the extension money, could someone please let me know how many weeks I would be eligible to receive? Thank you all so much, and best of luck to all of you.
