    Exclamation What's The Best Way to Notify EDD

    Do you know what the best way is to notify EDD that I will be away for eight weeks so that they stop sending claim forms? I want to do this in such a way that I can easily reopen my claim when I return. Thanks for any help!

    Wondering about this myself. From what I have heard/read, reopening the claim triggers a phone interview. Question is, what does the phone interview even cover if the claimant is only saying they are eligible as of the date of reopening the claim and from then on (the new claim forms would determine this so what is the phone interview for? to determine the past weeks in which the claimant does not and did not purport to be eligible anyway?)?

    The info below from http://www.edd.ca.gov/uibdg/Miscellaneous_MI_5.htm suggests that a claim can be reopened after a period of ineligibility and/or after a period in which the claimant doesn't work and fails to file the claim forms (out of carelessness? laziness?). The question remains, however, what is the best way to put a claim on hold in a way that will allow for relatively hassle-free reopening?

    Title 22, Section 1326-5 provides:

    1. "Reopened claim" means an application which certifies to the beginning date of a period of unemployment:
    1. Which falls within a previously established benefit year . . .
    2. Which follows any of the following:
    1. A period of one or more weeks for which the claimant failed to file a continued claim or partial claim and during which the claimant did not perform services in employment.
    2. A period of one or more weeks for which the claimant was ineligible for benefits . . .

    ...

    D. Reopened Claims (RC)

    An RC is filed on a valid UI claim with an existing balance, if there has been a break in certification of one or more weeks during which the claimant did not work.

    An RC may not be filed if the claimant is:

    1. Under a disqualification for a fixed period pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1257 or 1261 of the code (SW or SD), unless he or she has appealed the disqualification or unless he or she is also subject to disqualification pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 1257 of the code [FS].
    2. Ineligible for benefits for an indefinite period pursuant to subdivisions (a) (IRR), (b) (NR), or (c) (A&A) of Section 1253 of the code or Sections 1253.3 (SCH), 1253.4 (ATH), 1255.3 (PN), 1255.5 (WC), 1256 (MC or VQ), 1262 (TD), or 1264 (AL) of the code, unless he or she has appealed the disqualification.
    3. Awaiting an eligibility decision by the department on a prior claim filed in the same benefit year or extended benefit period.

    The RC would be filed after the disqualifying conditions have been met or an ALJ decision rendered.
