CA Unemployment Expired... HELP (extension, file, receive, claim)

[mdolphins2001]

Hello,

Ive read several threads and I am more confused than ever. So my First Claim expired on 06/16/12 also my first extension was up on that day. I was making the state maximum $450 a week. On 06/19/12 I received a notice stating that my claim has expired and I must complete a new claim in order to continue receiving benefits. Then on 06/21/12 I received a notice stating the last amount paid on my claim and that they are filing an extension on my behalf and I do not need to do anything on my part, they will mail me claim forms. As of 06/30/12 I have not received any further information from EDD. Also while I was unemployed I have been working six (6) hours a week making roughly $90's a week.

So my question is should I file a new claim or should I do what the last notice said and do nothing? If I shouldn't fill out a new claim then when should I expect to receive my continue claim forms? I've made 100's of calls to EDD without ever getting through. I am starting to freak out because I have bills coming up on the first and I don't make close to enough from my part time job to cover them.

PLEASE HELP!!

Generally, if you have worked while unemployed, in CA it is YOU who have to file a new claim at the bye. CA will automatically do this only for someone who has not worked. Also, the bye transition for someone who has worked might take a while longer because CA has to review those earnings.

Best to call to call them to see where you are in the process and if a new claim, in fact, has been filed. Suggest you review the last few pages of this thread on how best to get through on the phone:
