That's the story for my two month time as an insurance broker. I was doing well but the commission was a joke and I got mad. I didn't do or say anything but my work quality dropped in the last few days. They found out I started looking for work elsewhere. Don't think that warrants a firing but I really don't care much.
I haven't filed out the paperwork I got from EDD in those two months but I will be in the next few days. I don't know if I can get unemployment now.
It's Wednesday so first step is to check if you have what it takes to be monetarily eligible for UI. It's best to do that first so you can decide if you have to wait until July 6 to get a better benefit because of the quarter change.
He couldn't have been collecting Tier 1 until March. Federal benefits ended 12/28/2013.
Lots of people think state benefits are Tier 1. He was finishing off State of CA benefits.
Dub, if you first filed for unemployment on October, all you can do is resume what's left on those state benefits. Call CA to reopen the claim and collect what little is left.
Beyond that, once exhausted, there is nothing until you refile in October 2014 when the current benefit year expires. You can't have more than one claim in any 52-week period. The two months you spent at this insurance broker may create eligibility for a new claim in October.
Ok thanks. I think I have about 1500 left. I tried calling a zillion times when I lost my debit card and changed addresses. I'm gonna fill out the weekly forms and just wait a week or two that way.

Sending forms without calling to reopen claim will result in nothing. You have to speak w/a rep. CA will schedule an interview on the separation. CA won't pay anything until it verifies this is a qualified separation and will send you forms for the appropriate weeks.
Call first thing in a.m., dial 5-1-1-0 after welcome message. Or, use suggestions on last few pages of this thread.

Yea, I called a zillion times for two straight weeks with a prior issue. I even went to an EDD office to use their phone line because I read "their lines connect more often." And from my parents, thats 60 miles each way.
I got my issue resolved my mailing a letter and I was called several times on the weekend. So, my experience is mail works. It takes way longer but it got done. I literally woke up two weeks in a row at 755 am and kept calling til 9am. I'm not f'n doing that again.
I know some changes were made at the end of 2013 so I'm really confused now.
I worked a one year contract from 10/12 - 10/13. No permanent position was offered so the contract ended, nothing negative to say. I didn't even have to do a phone interview with EDD.
I received benefits until I found a job on March 25th. I worked at this location for roughly two months. I received my first commission check and it was ALOT lower than I was expecting. I was waiting for this check like a kid on X-Mas. I was very upset over it. My demeanor at work changed once I knew how little my hard work paid. I didn't complain or say something. In fact, I didn't say much...when I get mad I get quiet and it was obvious since it was a small company. A few days later, management calls me in to figure whats going on. I explain myself and tell them I need a few days to figure out what to do. Stay longer and change my plan or quit. Two days later, manager calls me in and lets me go before I can give my answer. I was applying for jobs (not on company time) and he got mad that I took it that far. Last day there was May 21st.
I had a phone interview regarding what happen with that job on 6/16. I figured I'm not going to get anything since I was only there for two months. I was hoping I could continue my claim before getting this trainwreck of a job.
Luckily, they accepted to continue my benefits. Received my benefits payment two days ago. However, I only have 1 week left from that claim on the form. I believe its been 6 months of benefits now.
I'm honestly just happy I got anything. I relocated for this job and I'm moving out of the area again tomorrow. This job pretty much wasted three months of my life. These benefits are covering the moving expenses and such. Really helpful!
The only thing that changed at the end of 2013 is there are no more extensions. Everything is how it used to be. 6 months isn't a NEW cap, it's the way it always was.
It's not so much when you worked that matters, it's when your claim year started and ended. It looks like you might be eligible for a new claim around 10/2014 and this two month job of new earnings will be the ticket along with your lag earnings from your contract job if you haven't found a job by then.
Not sure why we're visiting this. You posted a month ago you thought you had about $1,500 left and were told when that's gone you'd need to apply for a new claim in October:
Dub, if you first filed for unemployment on October, all you can do is resume what's left on those state benefits. Call CA to reopen the claim and collect what little is left.
