im phase 1 the only negative I see now is that it might still take 1 week to take effect after may27th, hope there’s at least a message in the EDD inbox on the 27th.. crazy how official recommendation is to just “keep checking in the week following 5/27”. Lol
This is gonna make people check the site 100 times a day to see if it’s live.
Also kind of weary how it says “to make sure you’re still unemployed”, I definitely am and didn’t work at all since 3/29 so I don’t have anything to worry about but still, what if I answer a question wrong, etc.. just hope it’s not 1 thing after another here.
And I feel bad for phase 2 people it’s like a whole extra month and there’s people who might have to start working again soon so I can see how backpayments could be an issue in those situations.
Fingers crossed for all of us
Yes that's what I see potentially happening and god knows how many months til it would be resolved if it does happen. It's like some states have made PEUC expotentially harder to obtain than it should need to be.
Yeah, I can see that being a problem. If someone goes back to work between now and when Phase 2 starts, they probably won't get PEUC. That's why they are careful to always say "IF" you qualify and how you will have to "APPLY" for PEUC. The "more info to come" will probably talk about this. They don't want to lay that bomb on people yet or discourage people from accepting work.
In their first announcement for Phase 2, they said to re-apply for UI because they are required by law to check to see if the person would qualify for regular UI before they can get PEUC. Did other states have that requirement? I think I recall NY told PEUC people to apply for a new claim first. I guess that's a standard Fed requirement because they want the state to pay when possible. But t does seem like CA is making this much more complicated than any other state. They will be the last state to implement all this.
At this point, I'm just telling myself that I'm not getting a dime because then I won't feel as upset if it doesn't happen. One thing is for sure, I will never look at CA EDD in the same way. I hope that I NEVER have to deal with these people for the rest of my life.
Side note, one of the reporters said Julie won't be available to talk for another 2 weeks. Not sure if that has any significance but that might be when Phase 1 is almost done so she can answer questions without people being so mad.

Right alongside the State of NJ. And then refiling will be another delay and cause for more errors and holdups. I can already see it. And what if when you refile they try to herd you into PUA. Technically I didn't think PEUC was specifically tied to COVID like PUA is. I know they are required to check every new quarter change for new employment for PEUC people. That's in the guidelines.

I wonder if that requirement for checking new quarters is why CA always seems to want to push people into PUA. Maybe it's less work for them so they would rather people get paid that way.

Easy fix? maybe? But honestly for some people technically they shouldn't be applying for PUA if not a COVID listed reason, but they should be entitled to PEUC. and some people would fare better if higher PEUC extension amount for shorter time frame if they know they will be called back to work soon. Instead of getting the minimum PUA amount.
CA unemployment is 15.5% which allows FED-ED or CAL-ED, mentioned in this thread a few pages back. It has to be "triggered", and understanding it is as complicated as this PEUC thing. If triggered, how would they interact with CARES?

oh lord, now there's another dance i see being led by people with 2 left feet. that's another ball of wax. just a way to jerk people around even further. "you will be paid for all retro weeks"... when? cause it was intended to get into the hands of those unemployed rapidly not July.

I wonder if the certifying days will still be Sunday, and if certifying will be every two weeks or one week.

You're a phase 2er, correct?
Are you thinking about going back to work before July?
If you do, shouldn't they still owe you backpay regardless?
