Hey Mr I want to tank you for this vid I help me to file my first claim 24 years of working stay safe and take care God Bless u

thanks so much! there was a part i was stuck on and this helped. you almost got stuck on it too but you figured it out WAY faster than me. it was the “work type” part.

First of all thank you thank you!!! this is the best and most organized explanation video I've come across hands down.. So I don't do well with brevity.but within this too much information are 3 basic questions. The first having to do with WHICH STATE I file for unemployment in since I've only worked/and now use an address in California... but officially...as I haven't yet changed my residency... am still a resident of Vermont. Any and all taxable documented work I've had for the last 18 months has been these last six months in California as prior to that... For the last two years had been put on disability about $700 a month for a chronic illness injury I am slowly recovering from. Come this last October now finally able and wantin to get back to work... and frankly HAVING to supplement...the help from disability my pride kept me from taking for many many years and which my pride now motivates me to hopefully NOT have to take ... If I can completely recover. Regardless I began weekly part-time work this last October with a steady ongoing gig thou.month to month as a 1099 independent contractor. The plan of course was to both continue to work for this company as needed AND take on more work as both the teacher I once was and the gig work with Uber and caretaking and dog walking that I had been doing before getting too sick to work a few years ago. Like so many ...Work abruptly ended for me as of March 13th..as did the pre-planned and arranged gig work I had set up for my impending permanent move down to the San Diego area... I had been working up in Monterey California... I don't know if that makes a difference in terms of county. Now I'm in a situation like everybody else ...as I definitely am living hand to mouth....where I'm finding it impossible to get even temporary work.....thou I'm really working hard to find anything anywhere..I still am not a permanent resident of California as I was just about to officially begin to change my residency when all this hit.... Having never before filed for unemployment. I have no records as such in Vermont and I haven't filed local for federal taxesI for a while now having neither made enough to do so ....and then being on disability. I do have a tax form with the gross amount from all the work in last five or six months from this one California employer but I had not gone ahead yet and filed my 1099. So firstly of course is which state I should file. my second question is should I go ahead now and fill out that 1099 and send in 2019 tax forms. And my third question comes down to an ethical question more than anything. I've always been a hard worker and don't like to take any more than I need and I'll be very lucky and grateful if I receive the $1,200 stimulus check so sorely needed. .however I can't pretend that I'm now in a very hard place with no savings and in between moves...so no home of my own. ever since I saw the writing on the wall I have been urgently trying to get any and all work as a fruit picker a grocery stocker I'm not picky and so far have not been able to secure... so I can't pretend that I've not been digging myself out of a very deep black hole full of debt and debilitating illness...And that I don't need or want any and all help I can find.. That said... If I can find work it would have to be full-time at this point in California where I know I will be living does one then let unemployment know immediately that I am receiving some kind of money each week although right now that's just desire not a reality. Long ago I understood that if I chose a life in the arts and theater I conscientiously shouldn't have children until/if ever I had the financial security

you saved my life!!! i was having a mental breakdown with this & now I’m done!! thank you :)

Best...I kept getting stuck on the employment type...had to click search! Thanks for the help

This video was AMAZING.. ive now seen it 3 times. Dear God BLESS YOU!! (my co worker got my text too late.. made a mistake picking icon... then she got lucked out.. was on hold for 5 HOURS!! EVERYONE should see THIS FIRST!!) EXCELLENT!!!!!

Hello so I already did all of that’s but I just need to put my code and for my claim DDE but my Internet it says always lost omg I try already so many times this is so frustrating.

OMG Thank you so much for this video! I have been trying to apply for unemployment for 2 full straight days. You made it so much easier to figure where I was stuck! It was VERY helpful! A big thumbs up. I plan on watching your unemployment video too:)

Can you please do a walk through for those filing as self-employed 1099 for UI in California? also what to do if you have multiple jobs, both W2 and 1099? I lost 1 job that is W2 (that I earn the least $ with) and I lost multiple jobs that are 1099. some one keeps commenting for self-employed to use DBA as company name.... I think that is incorrect?

thank you so much for helping with Edd really came in handy during these times

you definitely deserve a BIG LIKE! thanks a bunch!!

I'm having trouble accessing my account. Because previously I was getting unemployment, they're asking me to log back into my account. However, I don't remember my password. And I don't remember my security questions as well.

God bless you for making this video

@logan, dude this helps out alot, especially since ive never been on unemployment before. you go into details where others would just skim over it. thank you very much for this video

Thank you for this tutorial!! Do you happen to know if Edd contacts former employers? (Most recent or even farther back?)

Thank you I had to figure this out for my mom!!! Bless you

Thanks, man! This is super helpful.

Thank you for your video. Very detail , stepby step walk me through..

Help how can I pass through my EDD SELFIE STAGE

I've created an account but it locked (because I did something incorrect!), can I create another account with same e-mail address? Thank you,

This honestly help me a lot. Thank you so very much.

Thanks for the big help, Logan.It was very useful and I was finally able to complete it.

Where do you get the DD 10 digit account numbers when viewing a claim? I never received an email with a 10 digit number

I didn't file until two weeks after my hours were cut, will I receive retroactive payments from the date of the last day I was paid?

Great video! Thank you. Note that a "Quarter" is "3 months" NOT "4 months" as you calculated. "Quarter" means divided into 4 equal parts. 12 months divided by 4 is 3 months.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! It helped!!

Thanks for the great video! Do you know if there’s a way to edit my claim? I think I made a few mistakes

Should the disaster information part..... be a yes since a disaster is due to the covid 19 and the president announced an national emergency due to this? just curious if that affects anything with the care regarding the extra 600?

Hey Logan thanks so much this was so helpful, the only question I have is after I file a new claim just like you showed in the video, I have to wait for the package to arrive from EDD correct till then I don't have to do anything? And the new claim I just entered is for the current week starting 04/12 so do I have to file a new claim every week that I am unemployed?

Great video man. Really helped out alot.

Thank you! I was getting an error code for TWO HOURS. Your video showed me not to use comas in the gross wages!!!

That’s freaking helpful. Thanks!

My Man!!! Thank you so much for this video Much blessings to yoy!!!

For questions 7 on the Earned wages I left those blank.do you think I will have a problem?

Thing is, a lot of people are blind to the opportunities lurking around. It only takes a good glance to see you can create employment yourself only if you’re willing to put in the work.

Man, thank you SO MUCH for your help because your video is awesome !! Keep going to do smart things for humanity !! 👍🤝

Thanks for sharing! I’m going to try it tonight.

Hello, How do we file for reduced work hours or incase some one has taken a pay cut due to covid-19

How about if i had 2 part time Jobs and lost 1 but still working part time on the other one?

First, I want to thank you for your help for us .. you are awesome person and your explanation was clear it helps me to complete unemployment forms.. God Bless you .. thanks 🙏

Just wanted to say thank you that video...helped alot!

How to apply when you just got laidoff in your part time job only and you still working full time on a different job. Please help thanks!

Anyone needs assistance getting approval??

This honestly helped me alot. I managed to complete it all yesterday. Thanks!!!

Thank you so much man that is super helpful

Thanks for the video ! I have a question, I helped my dad finish the application last week .Then I do not know what should I do now . I tried to log in and manage my account but it asked me enter personal information again also need Edd coutomer account number . Do you know that ? Thanks

My unemployment ending 2-29-2020 I received email from edd and let me know I can't received any benefits at this time. Since the government extended unemployment benefits, I trying to apply but didn't allow me. Please let me know what panel should I apply for? 🙏🙏

Thank you so much. But i have a question after i completed this whats the next step and how do i file the weekly claim and how often. Sory i am new to this thanks in advance

I have a question. I’m kinda stuck. I opened a claimed up for my friend but the benifits are from the 2014. How do I change it. Doesn’t give me a button to reopen claim so I can make the benefits current . I’m stuck can you help me pls..

Thank you, this was extremely helpful. Do you have u tutorial for the question that asks if you've worked in another state in the last 18 months besides CA.? This is my dilemma. Thanks

Can you please do a step by step video on how to apply if you are a independent contractor or self employed person who has been laid off due to the Coronavirus please

Wait so when i login do I click ui mobile because I’m doing it on my phone or does it matter

thank you so much! this was very helpful

So after I go through all these steps will I get a notice from EDD? Will I get something in the mail? How do I keep filing in order to receive benefits?

What happens after they send you the form to verify your 2 week earnings.

They make it so confusing. Thank you!

*So after Hitting submit, what’s next? Wait for a Call? Email? Mail? Then they’ll tell me if I’m approved or not?*

My friend just reciente 8000 from unemployment? Does this sounds right I have a other friends receiving 9k

Thanks for posting this.

Hi, wondering if you can help. I’m getting under paid from unemployment . What should I do??? I Worked for a company for almost 18 years. Quit in December because I got a better job. And due to Covid, I got laid off from my new job in April, only worked for 4 months. Should they be calculating my wages from my previous employer too???

What about self employed to apply it.

Just a FYI..I found out the total quarterly gross wages are NOT required to fill in , it does not have the red asterisk next to it! You can just skip that part makes it so much easier to complete.

Thank you, this video is very helpful

thank you so much it was very helpful!

I made a mistake and didn't put in my total quarterly gross wages...and accidentally put "No" that I did not work during a certain time frame when I actually did. I logged in and there's no way to update employer/wage information. Do I have to wait for the letter in the mail before I can update my information? I know I have to put in that information to determine my eligibility... Thank you!

Will we be getting an EDD debit card in the mail?

Thank you so much for this video. You literally saved me such a headache. Thank you

Do I need my actual paystubs to submit my application or could I just go based on what I’ve made direct deposit. Since I don’t have acces to that type of stuff

UPDATE: after 3 weeks of hearing nothing from EDD and even though I skipped the part where you have to state your wages (hadn’t seen this wonderful video then) I finally got a reply today. I’ve been approved! I received my 10 digit account number (praise the lord) and I can breathe again! A big thank you to Digital Sage Nomad and David Boston for taking the time to answer my questions. Don’t despair folks! Even if,like me ,you cannot find a way to contact the agency or your calls don’t go through they will answer. It just takes longer now. Good luck everyone and God bless.

I work a work-study job for college and another job (the one I am filing unemployment for) Do I have to provide the work study job as another employer since it's really a program and I can only work up to a certain amount of hours? Or do I just leave it? Thank you in advance!

It's been over a month that I applied for unemployment I recieved my award letter but according to a eed employee that I spoke with there is a technical error with my claim. So my question is will I get back pay? I still haven't haven't got any benefits?

Thanks for the method bro i really appreciate you 🙏

Can you please let me know if I lost most of my self-employed income before February (which is furthest back I can get paid for, right?), and my employed income has never been more than 400 per month (but that’s gone now too), do I still get the regular unemployment from February on and the 600 on top of that from March on? (I live in CA btw)

This dude really makes me happy and everything ad been working for me seimce I started dealing with cash lurd 👍

RN here. Just got furloughed after 26 years at a major hospital in Texas. I am so lost on what to do and slightly scared I'm gonna do it wrong . Oh how I wish u in Texas 😔. Thank you

I reopened my claim and 4 days later got the message saying i needed to reopen the claim AGAIN. Anybody know why?

when im at 5:20 on my computer it says "Page not found (in big orange letters) The page you requested cannot be found. If your link was once valid, the information you are looking for has most likely moved." where the hell did it move it?? this was after clicking UI Online. so im here just asking for help

Hey Logan, What if you had already filed a claim when you had hours reduced but then lost job completely? How would you change partial benefits claim to the total benefits? Would I have to cancel that claim and submit a new claim?

What I want to ask is what is the program you are using that allows you to be on the screen at the same time and you can move your part also with the pointer. Thank you

I really appreciate your help ... thank you!

After you file do we need to submit our resume to the ca job portal? My certified weeks have been pending for a month

I certified my two weeks and at first it said pending, know it says paid, but my Edd card is still without the money. Any idea what happened

thanks for sharing great info!

You are the best of the best love your video

Reallly helpful

After the first deposit do I need to file again every week or is it automatic ?

What do employees put for last day worked if they are still working and just reduced hours?

I have a full-time office job and a part-time job as a server and I put that into the EDD website because both of my jobs popped up when I was first filing my claim and I put in my earnings for the annual term and they approve me for 450. I was still employed at my full-time job at the office position but I was furloughed as a part-time server and then now I'm being called back on a part-time basis for my server position. (Not my full hours) So my question is what I'm certifying for number 6 on the form about the pay and mark the box yes another box opens up with both my jobs listed. I am confused about how answer the full time job question because the option drop down box does not give me the option of not having lost the job and I'm not sure how to fill that box out for the drop-down because none of the drop-down fits my description, because I was never laid off that job I'm not sure how to correctly answer that question do I just put in the box return-to-work benefits not needed for the job that I was not laid off of and is that going to disqualify me for the other part-time server position that I was furloughed and then now not getting my full hours back?

Thank you for helping me :)

How do I apply for partial unemployment?? Is it the same thing if I file this way?

Hey this is very helpful just one question. At what point are we suppose to put in our EDD customer account number ? I’m a little confused about that. Also do we get everything threw the mail via card and all that ? Thank you

Hello Alec nice work, can I please get a step by step process on how to backadate the uneplyment insurance for california just the way you did the step by step registration ?? i would really appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing this information to help others

What if you have two employers and still working for one. How do you feel that section? I get stuck on the employment history section of the application.

Thank this video was a lot of help

If you file for unemployment a second time after year and haven’t worked since than do you put down the same info again? Can you apply again with same employer?

Thanks you were plenty of help to me
