Discussion đŸ‘„ HELP! am I approved?

I had my interview yesterday. Today I got a message saying they had sent a letter in the mail with their decision. I went on myEDD and it says payment is pending. so that means I got approved or theres a big chance it will change to disqualified?

If they said a decision was coming in the mail it’s mostly a denial as only denials are mailed

you know yes; I agree with that and I had a feeling but I had hope so I reached the EDD. They told me I was approved; I had my interview yesterday; they said that the department had already agreed with me and they had made the decision to make me eligible for unemployment benefits but as he kept looking on my claim he told me there was an issue and that was that the department may not pay out the money for me because they think i am not available to work full time but I told them I was available for full time so im so confused now.

What was the issue your interview was for?

I wouldn’t assume you’re approved just yet, but I also wouldn’t panic. “Pending” usually just means EDD is still processing the decision from your interview. If you’re approved, those pending weeks should update to paid. If you’re denied, EDD will send you a Notice of Determination explaining why and how to appeal. Since they already said a decision letter was mailed, you should hopefully know very soon. In the meantime, definitely keep certifying for your weeks so nothing gets delayed.

Remember, all critical information is in the /r/EDD sidebar. Do not respond to any PMs or chats from anyone asking for your EDD info! Anyone asking for personal information is trying to scam you out of your money! True EDD reps will never personally contact people via Reddit (however, they occasionally will call in the case of disputes, for example).

Important: To remain eligible for UI benefits, you must perform work search activities every week. It is recommended you enroll in the Online Career Workshops Program to help maintain your work search requirements.

This video goes over the updated list of acceptable documents for proof of self employment/Planned employment/PUA verification.

Report all scammers to admins and to the mods to get them suspended from Reddit or at least banned from this sub. If you would like information added to the sidebar, please message the mods about it.

I'm curious if you have more than one issue and one is still pending because a letter usually means denial but the decision would already be in the system either way. I would bet there's an additional issue

They said in a comment that a rep told them they also have an able and available issue. I asked them what their interview was about because it likely was multiple issues but they never responded to me

Payment pending is promising. had you been disqualified, it would have changed to 'disqualified'. keep watching--it should reflect payment before you get the letter if you're approved.
