I filed on the 25th, never received any kind of confirmation package. I just received my first claim form today. No mention of the Feds $600/week kicker. A few years ago they transitioned to Visa debit cards, hopefully mine is still active and I don’t have to jump through hoops to access the funds whenever they become available.

I'm glad to hear you got approved. I'm speed dialing again..... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm glad to hear you got approved. I'm speed dialing again..... It went through. Pending transfer from the debit card to my bank account. It was just the max of $900, no $600 Federal kicker, not sure why as the state has received the funds from the Fed. |

One of my guys got his card and one of my employees spouses got theirs...but that one guy is one of 16 so far and they filed two weeks ago due to reduced hours.
Their union came by and helped do the online portion for them. Times are tough for sure. Good luck. |

Wife was furloughed and applied.
We got the online account up and running, and the benefit says "paid", but we have not received the debit card yet. Anyone have an idea of when that is supposed to arrive? |

Anyone have an idea of when that is supposed to arrive? I don’t recall. I’ve had mine for a few years now. I generally have to file for a few weeks/months every year due to weather. Last year they had cancelled the card and it took a few weeks for them to reactivate it, and stuff wasn’t all crazy like it is now. It’s through BofA. Maybe get in touch with the about it?? Probably be a quicker avenue than EDD. Looks like I’m heading back to work next week anyways, for how long who knows. At least I’ve already got a claim open so if I need to reactivate it it shouldn’t be a PITA. |

If it’s $900 that’ll help. I hit speed dial 412 times today. I actually got through to the auto-attendant 19 times, but could never get connected to the queue. ETA: max payment $450, not $350 |

Anyone have an idea of when that is supposed to arrive? I’m glad it worked for you. My problem is I moved to Texas at Christmas. My base period is January - December, so even though 100% of my base period was in CA, I can’t apply online because I moved out of state. Ugh. It’s frustrating. They only answer phones 4 hours/day.....and they don’t answer the phones. |

Wow that’s pretty sad. I just applied for UI but I’m not sure if I will qualify. I’m self employed and can’t work due to the shutdown. If I do qualify I have no idea how much I’ll even get a week. Hope you get your call in, stupid they are only open 4 hours

I just don't get how they only answer the phones for 4 hours daily. In the best of times that is inadequate. Now, that is just abusive.
As shitty as the CA government can get, I doubt any other agency in this state only answers the phones 4 hours a day. |

The max being $450/week. Sent a letter to my congressman last night asking WTF is up with the state not paying out the kicker that they have in their grubby hands.... We shall see. Hope you can get through. Good news is supposedly, it will be retroactive to when you first became unemployed. |

What you get will depend on your income. At any rate it will be better than zero. |

How did you arrive at $900? Two people? ETA: Never mind, I think you already answered my question. |

Big question here - I got through and the rep was able to file claims for both myself and my daughter. At end, we have to listen to some recording to complete the claim. When he tried to transfer us to the recording he dropped the call.
Does anybody know if that will stall the claim? Do you have to enter anything at the end to confirm you listened? Ughhhhhh! |

Glad you got through. Not sure regarding the call confirmation as I always file online. You should now be able to go online and see your status.... Probably tomorrow, not sure if they’d have it up that fast. Given the current situation, I’d assume if you got all the way through minus some minor tidbit they’d still process your claim, but who knows with Government bureaucrats. Yes, I was referring to $900 for a two week period at max benefit. |

She could log in because she had a claim last year. I can't see mine because I never filed before so don't have a EDD Customer Account number yet. According to the website, they'll mail that to me in a couple of weeks (form DE5614 I think it said). But it's looking good. That's a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. It's not a lot of money but it'll help. |
