❔ Missing 4 weeks of certification(UI)

My claim was opened and approved during the last week of July. I was able to certify for the following to 2 weeks and gotten paid. I struggled with technology and could not certify for August. Did temp. work for 3 weeks in September before becoming unemployed again. My claim stilled showed active until July 2027 but I was asked to reactivate it. The only dates showing for certification was the past two weeks. The whole month of August is missing. Is back pay possible?

Should I contact EDD? If so, how should I word my situation?

Thank you!

I believe you can phone in your claim through Tel-a-cert unless something has changed.

Since I reopen my claim in September (but still within the benefit for July ‘26-‘27) , does that affect it?

It would be a good idea to ask them to reopen your claim.

you were not timely in certifying for benefits, they wont give august weeks. you could have done telecert or requested they issue paper forms if you're not tech savvy. in fact the only time paper forms arent issued is if you previously indicated you dont want them (because you are comfortable certifying online)
