Anyone else in California still not heard from EDD re: Unemployment Insurance? It& #39;s been like almost two weeks...

update: I got an email saying an edd online account had been created but none of the promised physical mail w/ all the technical details has come. No way so far to claim any benefits, though it does show me I’ll get 421 a week—so no idea how the “up to 600 more” from CARES works

Do you have to do a separate application somewhere else? Will they just add it all later.

BUT: progress! It’s all retroactive too guys! Sucks it’s so confusing and delayed but hang in there, I think they’re getting it figured out...

Update: EDD sent me a check in the mail for $842, aka only the pre-CARES amount but my correspondence with my state senators office indicates to me that the addition up to 600 is still something the state is programming on into there system. This is great news, hold in there guys

A minor side note is that EDD made it sound like they would give money out in the form of debit cards not physical checks but I won’t complain
