    Confused About My New UI Claim
    Apparently my 1st UI claim officially ended on 2/06/2010. I officially lost my job on 2/12/2009. I’ve collected so far 52 weeks and have had no luck finding any work. On Friday (2/12/2010) I received an Additional Instructions letter from EDD (state of California). In this letter it states that my UI benefits cannot be paid on a new claim unless I worked as an employee between 02/08/09 and 2/06/2010 and conditions (a) or (b) below are met:
    a) You earned at least $100 as an employee in one quarter between the dates listed above.
    b) You earned at least $900 as an employee in your highest quarter of earnings between the dates listed above, and your total earnings during that same time period were at least 1.25 times that highest quarter amount.
    I’m so confused. I have 2 pay stubs with a check date of 2/11/2010 that have a pay period of 01/28/2009 to 2/10/2009. The first check is the bi-weekly salary payment of $1,608.00 (net) and the second check is for my severance $1642.10 (net). Technically, according to my pay-stubs, I’ve worked 2 days between 02/08/09 and 02/06/2010. Would this qualify me for another UI extension? Or…am I out of UI benefits for good?
    FYI: What’s really weird is that on my last UI check payment (arrived 2/11/2010), the continued UI claim top stub message (that shows UI claim balance) had a balance of $4,050. On Saturday (2/13/2010) I received another claim form that had a top stub message of only “Claim Expired 02/05/2011” and the 2nd week ‘s Yes or No question fill-out portion all “XXXXXXX”-ed out.
    What can or should I now? Don’t the UI extensions that congress passed, apply to me? I need to respond to this EDD Additional Instructions letter in less than 10 days. I would normally call EDD, but no one is answering that phone. Please help me as soon as possible with any advice. Much appreciated.

    If you believe you qualify for an extension, apply for an extension. The worst thing that can happen is that they'll say "no".
