Good news!! I used claimyr and ended up spending about 8 hours on the phone, but it’s fixed!! I had to go to tier 2, but finally got someone who figured out all the different issues and I received my checks last week!! Thank you thank you!! ❤️

Alex! Thank you thank you!!! You are fantastic!!! Yes, I started on PEUC in March 2020, but my year expired June 5, 2020, so then I opened a regular UI claim. My SDI started June 21, 2020 and I still had a balance on my regular UI claim. So in March 2021, when SDI ended, I believe I should be eligible for an extension of my regular UI benefits. But starting June 2021, my year ended, so now I'm going to read through everything you sent me to make sure I understand which program I'm eligible for now. When I finally get through to EDD, I want all the info at my fingertips!! Stay safe, and again, thank you for all this wonderful info!!! Chris

Thank you, Alex! That helps me keep hope alive! I ended up getting a denial letter last week because I hadn't collected unemployment from March-June (because I couldn't reopen my claim, ARG!!!). So I wrote a letter stating that I SHOULD have been collecting unemployment, but wasn't able to because the website wouldn't allow me to reopen my claim... I received a letter stating that I would eventually (who know when, eye roll!) get an apt. to talk to someone about the denied claim. I'm 4 months behind now, so hoping to reach out to Unemployment Gurus for help with the phone calling and making sure I have EVERYTHING I need so I can get it all fixed at once.

Thank you, Alex... sadly I'm in limbo. I needed to "reopen" a claim from last year (was SDI for a few months, but when my doctor released me, my job is still shut down). The "reopen claim" button was missing (and the "file a new claim" button was missing, too, even after the update mentioned above.). After 2 months my UI year ended and the "open a new claim" button appeared, so I applied for a new claim. But it was denied because I hadn't received benefits for the 2 months previous where my I should have been able to reopen my claim from 2020. ARG! hundreds of phone calls, couldn't even get to the hold line. I've written both my representatives and the governor. Hopefully something will happen this month. Thank you so much for all the details you provided
