Will regular UI benefits switch to PEUC?

@kro EDD wrote in their newsletter there should not be a gap in benefits, so based on that, you should be able to get paid for the past weeks after Dec 27, 2020. An insane amount of people are calling now so it's up to you if you want to get in line for that :( but of course talking to someone directly is best

Personally if it was my claim I would not be concerned bc I think this will be eventually addressed, but also your financial situation could be different than mine -- so do what's best for you? If you need to call, for sure call them 800-300-5616

Similar situation here - just filed for the last 2 weeks but only had $450 left on my EDD balance; was paid for one week $450 + $300 federal and now my account says Maximum Benefits paid.

FYI - a co-worker who was laid off the same date as me filed her final claim a few weeks back and then got an EDD text alert 2 days later saying:

We filed a Federal-State Extended Duration (FED-ED) extension (up to 20 weeks) on your unemployment claim.

So fingers crossed it will happen automatically soon!

@chrisreichertpr Once you exhaust your claim it will trigger to send you a notice of PEUC (or FED-ED) 7-10 days after you exhaust and then your claim will change. I would give it 2-3 weeks for that change. Certification opens on Sundays, but they stay open for two weeks (just to let you know in case you are worried about missing certifications... that it will stay open and you'll more than likely be okay). Also if your co-worker got their FED-ED I'm assuming you're fed-ed too? If so, FED-ED has different requirements, but same process -- I'd give it some time. Most people aren't as lucky as your friend
