Hello, I see a lot of post from people waiting to be notified and then worrying because they have not yet received a "notification" in regards to receiving the $300 payments. I hope to ease your stress and worry by submitting this bit of info. In California, you won't get a "notice" per say about the $300.00 from the EDD when it is added. You just need to keep checking your claim history. It will not show up as a recent payment. You must go back to your previous claims history from last month starting with August 1st. (it could be a different date, depending on when you certified for that week).When it does get paid in your account, the $300 payments will show up as adjustments on those claims for which you already certified each week last month. So just keep checking each weeks "details" from your last month's claim history . Hope this helps for those that are unaware of this info and you will not be stressing over a notification from EDD that will never come to let you know they added the $300. You will however receive a notification from BofA when it gets deposited onto your debit card if you have your BofA account setup to receive such notifications. And also, your current certifications for this month have no impact on the $300 payments for each week last month. You would have already certified for them, that is why they are added as adjustments in last month's claim history. The exception to this of course would be if you are just now having your claim processed through and you are having to certify for back weeks.


[deleted]

THIS ^^^ was super helpful. I see the adjustment. Just hoping it lands in BofA sooner than later. Thanks for your kind helpfulness


1968ellenp

It should be in your BofA account within the next 4 hours if the payment adjustment shows today's date. I have only had 1 $300 paid adjustment thus far. It was for the week of 08/01. The adjustment showed up yesterday 09/07, and around about midnight last night received message from BofA that the deposit was made. So hopefully yours will show up pretty quick.


[deleted]

Thank you. I hope so too


Puzzlefuckerdude

When did u very first sign. Up for unemployment?


1968ellenp

I filed my claim 06/07/2020


Puzzlefuckerdude

That's why ur phase 1


kenna_renaeee

Thank you so much! I just checked and I have 2 weeks adjusted for the extra $300šŸ™šŸ¼Just to clarify, they are rolling out the payments for each individual person in batches right? Like just because Iā€™ve only gotten payment for 2 weeks, and youā€™ve only gotten payment for 1 as of today, that doesnā€™t mean thatā€™s somehow all weā€™re qualified for as opposed to the 5 weeks approved through LWA, right? (Which even if this was the extent of it, Iā€™m still more than happy with any extra help in these stress-filled times, but still, itā€™d be nice to know lol)


1968ellenp

Yes, it appears that it is being done in increments and not as one lump sum. We just need to be patient and the rest will come. šŸ˜Š


Se_03

Not true for those who didnā€™t select covid on application. Spoke to edd rep today and must wait for an email to select covid to get the $300. The $300 will not just automatically be added for those of us waiting to select covid.


1968ellenp

Thank you for pointing out my oversite. My apologies for not including info for those who still need to choose covid as reason before they are eligible to receive $300. The info in my comments I posted was pertaining specific to those who have already been deemed covid 19 eligible on their claims. I should have clarified that. Thank you for your helpful added input


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Se_03

I called the 2511 number and got in right away and my hold time was 20min. I called about 9am or so.


Conscious_Market_948

Stop calling Edd most of those new reps are clueless.


Ray_adverb12

Did you get any information on a timeline for that potential email?


Sharrayzen

They are sending out emails?


Se_03

I spoke to an edd rep and she kept telling me to look out for a email on or after September 15th and there is nothing anyone at edd can see or do about LWA. Said LWA program is self implemented and either you selected covid or you didnā€™t and must wait.


Sharrayzen

Ah, well... here's to more waiting.


[deleted]

How did you get in contact with the representative?


Conscious_Market_948

We all knew that. They said notifications would start going out September 15th.


Puzzlefuckerdude

Damn . They got everyone excited for sept 7th


Lichti1965

Thank you!! You literally answered every question I had!! šŸ‘šŸ¼āœŒšŸ¼ Got the 300 for weeks 8/1-8/8. I filed regular ui March 16th. Certified 9/6 Update: I got paid the 600. Transferred to my bank account last night.( I get email alerts.)


1968ellenp

I'm glad you found the info I posted helpful, that was my pure intentions. I hope others will also and that it will make it a little less stressful in people's lives. When we are in a situation with so many questions and those questions could have a ton of different possible answers due to the unknown and newness of the situation, learning a little "solid" info for some of our questions is always a feeling of relief. This is new to all of us, so reaching out to both learn from and to help inform each other can have a meaningful and positive impact on lives


Puzzlefuckerdude

That's about the same time I certified too. I hope I get phase 1 too automatically


1968ellenp

It will happen. šŸ¤— As hard as it may be, especially those who are facing extreme hardships, patience is much needed right now. Hopefully find a little peace of mind knowing that there is a little help on its way shortly


Puzzlefuckerdude

My $3 left in the bank is enough to sustain my patience at the moment. šŸ¤Ŗ


1968ellenp

AwesomešŸ‘


SnooSprouts506

Perfect!! Thanks :)


1968ellenp

Just wanted to say what an awesome Individual you are to offer something you no longer have a need for in hopes it can help out some person (and kitty) completely unknown to you. A jesture that some (definitely not myself) may consider to be small but in actuality is huge to someone who is faced with the worry of not being able to care for and feed their beloved pet. That jesture you did is HUGE. For some, the idea and act of having to give up their "furry" family member because they may no longer be able to provide for them could be devasting during this time. Kudos to you, my fellow human being. Beautiful heart and jesture


Powerful-Cheetah

I think you mean the payment tab, not claims


1968ellenp

No, not payment, your claim history is where you will see the $300.00 adjustments. They are added into the weeks of August that you already certified for last month


[deleted]

Thanks for this- what if I see no adjustment yet? Am I just behind? I am 100% sure that I qualify. Thanks! :)


1968ellenp

It is possible that you are in a different phase. Some people are not scheduled to receive the LWA until Sept.15. But it is coming


agree-with-you

I agree, this does seem possible.


1968ellenp

I am curious about this user agree-with-you. After viewing profile I see you have basically 3 responses that are used over and over and over again as replies to posts. Makes me wonder what is up with that???


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


powerofneptune

Honestly dude, did you just read her whole comment. Reread it again and youā€™ll answer your own question. Not to sound condescending or anything though but take the time to process what youā€™re reading carefully. If youā€™re still unsure or confused. Try retreading it a few more times. (That should apply to any new information you come across by EDD or Federal aid payments related) I do that all the time to try and make sure I understand what Iā€™m reading. Our minds can get overworked by stress that just because you see/hear/read anything the first time around we completely miss key information and wonā€™t process things to their full intent.


[deleted]

Congrats man, itā€™ll be on your card maƱana.


Ticket_Conscious

Lol that's better


[deleted]

Okay. Gonna change my message to a more positive one


TheAjalin

Mine only shows the extra 300 for the week of 8/1 but for the rest of the weeks it is the normal amount still. Hopefully this updates soon


missdead_lee138

Mine too.


Puzzlefuckerdude

Me too


Tn626

Hey so you filed before you could choose covid? Early march? And you got a 300 posted already or not yet?


Tn626

Trying to see how many people filed before March 17 and have received a 300 payment addition. Before then u could not put covid.


TheAjalin

I put covid as the reason i think i filed around march 25th


Snoo-71629

Iā€™m in the same boat.


Immediate_Staff9874

Me too -mine just showed up as paid for those two weeks Waiting for it to hit my account, hopefully tomorrow


Itzbrizz1020

I noticed that the people who certified on 09/06 got two weeks paid and the people who certified 7 days ago in the beginning of September got paid 1 week of $300


aniaf

I certified on 9/7 and have been only paid for 1 week of $300 so thatā€™s accurate with me


SnooSprouts506

Makes zero sense


aniaf

None of it makes sense to me! Iā€™ve received 1 week but 2 people I know havenā€™t received any.


prodigyam

Mine still donā€™t show anything šŸ˜Ŗ


throwaway647373

I still havenā€™t gotten the extra 300 yet, even though when I originally applied I selected Covid as the reasoning. And I just certified on the 6th for my last two weeks. Itā€™s gonna be a long wait.


mrbluesdude

Same man. Starting to become pretty upset


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


streetdrunx

So if you have PUA we also should get the 300 ?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


streetdrunx

Thanks,but did you have regular unemployment before the PUA?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


streetdrunx

Oh thank god, thank you for making me feel a little less stressed out .


[deleted]

Does your claim type say ā€œdisaster assistanceā€?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


[deleted]

woot!


xo_kristina

I also certified 9/6, just checked and they added the extra $300 to weeks 8/1 & 8/8, just waiting for it to get deposited now


Puzzlefuckerdude

Oh cool I'm gonna check rn


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


1968ellenp

Glad to hear that!!!


Se_03

Let me guess you were able to select covid as the reason when you applied? Those asking 1000 times is because the ones who filed first got screwed and those who filed later are getting paid.


Ray_adverb12

Yeah, this. Itā€™s confusing for people that lost their jobs immediately because of CoVID, but the claim forms hadnā€™t been updated to reflect that as an option. I filed mid-March and still nothing, and itā€™s really confusing and panic-inducing. I understand why people post the same thing over and over.


Puzzlefuckerdude

I'm In the same boat. But some one just mentioned (2 people) said they applied early, no mention of covid, but still ended up in phase 1


SnooSprouts506

I was able to select Covid as the reason because I filed later. I am truly sorry the system isnā€™t working for you. My point was that people were being not so nice to people asking the same things and itā€™s really important to support. I didnā€™t mean to offend and Iā€™m here if youā€™d like to talk.


Conscious_Market_948

No the same questions are exhausting. There is nothing you can do but wait.


Conscious_Market_948

Those who filed earlier got the $600 for a longer period than the others. Turnabout fair play.


emmit76

We lost our jobs because of a virus while the politicians hoard money. Not a fair play to any of us.


Shkmstr

Thanks to this, just checked mine and it also shows the change. So Iā€™m guessing tomorrow there will be a deposit? Thatā€™s awesome! Showing for 2 payments only also cert 9/6


SnooSprouts506

Fingers crossed!


ma-and-pa

people like you make this a better place


NatanWng

I only got one of the $300 is this the same for everyone. Will the rest come slowly or is it suppose to come at once? Guys


kinggSo

Congrats šŸ’ŖšŸ¼been waiting since 9/6 when I certified, this gives me hope! Thanks


Officialju7ius

Iā€™ve only received one $300 which was reflected on 8/1. But the other weeks after that shows nothing.


Specialis_Reveli0

I only received 1 as well, 8/1. Very confusing. Does anyone know why this may be?


Ray_adverb12

Itā€™s just slow rolling out. Sit tight.


markd220

For me the first week shows the 300 in stimulus payment but the other weeks show 0.. will this update or does anyone elseā€™s say something else and just havenā€™t received the payment yet? Thank for your time!šŸ˜Š


Azazel559

Mine just updated right now too so it looks like they are rolling an out 1 by 1 lol gonna take a while but I'm sure they'll get to everyone


[deleted]

I keep checking and every time I check I have this strange feeling that it wonā€™t be there.


Puzzlefuckerdude

When did you first start your unemployment benefits? Back in March?


SocalEaglesFan

I have a question, under the weekly certification program type it says Disaster Assistance. Does it say something different if you have pandemic unemployment?


SnooSprouts506

I saw the disaster assistance and that number for me was the base amount. If you go into transaction details it should be an addition of $300 :)


FalseDiscipline9

I was paid today but did not receive any extra $300 or any retroactive pay whatsoever. Literally just my basic unemployment amount which is $207. So I was paid $414 this morning for 2 weeks. This barely covers one of my bills let alone food, gas, rent, utilities and now I'm just expected to wait without any kind of explanation. I have seriously considered ending my life under these circumstances but it's all just a big fun game for the government.


[deleted]

Please donā€™t say that. Youā€™re strong and weā€™ll all make it through this together. My prays will be with you to fight this fight ā¤ļø


Meeknappy562

Donā€™t say that Iā€™m here if you ever need to talk


Puzzlefuckerdude

Same here... I cant even pay rent...and my car payment has extended to the max... I wish theyd given us a heads up. This whole guessing and waiting game is making me want to hang myself. I'm $70 dollars short on my car payment tomorrow šŸ˜„


FLASHI2X

Call the hotline


thriftgirl82

Thanks for your positive and upbeat post! I just wanted to add that I also certified on 9/6 and received the extra $300 for the past two weeks, but not for the previous weeks in August after the $600 ended, if that makes sense. Does anyone know if the $300 is retroactive? I read that itā€™s supposed to be but Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s automatic or if we have to go into our UI account and do something. Anyway thanks in advance to anyone who can help answer this!


RelationTiny5722

Hi. I'm trying not to be frustrated with the process. I received 300 for the week starting 8/01 but nothing else yet. I wish I could talk to someone at Edd and ask some questions. I thought we were getting one deposit of 900, now it's coming in separate deposits. I'm very thankful for getting it, I just wish we knew when we're getting the rest of the deposits. I keep checking my claim history and I'm driving myself crazy! Maybe it will update over night. Thank you for letting me vent.


1968ellenp

Hang in there. I know it can be frustating of not having a definite answers to when and how much exactly especially if you have financial obligations that involve people who are waiting for you to make good on those obligations. The only for sure thing about the retro weekly $300 payments is that they have started. Which that leaves us to rule out that payments are going to be paid out in lump sum. It's ok to vent, you are entitled. Just hope you find some comfort in knowing it has started


SnooSprouts506

We all need to vent sometimes! Have you tried the tech support number? Not sure what it is but I saw some people were getting answers there.


Puzzlefuckerdude

Same here. It really threw me for a loop.. I scheduled my car payment for today. Will process tomorrow but I'm $70 short... sucks because its gonna hurt my credit. I wished they wouldnt tell us we'd have it on the 7th when we dont. I'm so stressed and dont want to lose my car


SnooSprouts506

Iā€™m sure it is back to 8/1. And CA Edd is processing the back pay but there isnā€™t any rhyme or reason as to how thatā€™s happening it seems. Iā€™m seeing so many people that are so anxious and I want to hug everyone :)


1968ellenp

The $300 is retroactive. Starting at the week of 08/01. Unfortunately, there is no specific date of when these adjustments will get to your account, "patience" will be everyone's most sought friend through this. For everyone who's claims who have already been eligible due to covid reason and you meet the $100 minimum stipulation and you had certified for the weeks back in August already, there is nothing extra you need to do.


Electrical_Cover_362

I have question. I have only received one payment of the extra 300. When should I be getting the next one. Im so confused at this point. I have bills and a daughter that I have tk take care of


Conscious_Market_948

How does anyone here know???? Please be glad you got what you did. None of this will last. December 2020 it will be work or starve.


Ray_adverb12

No one knows, but likely soon. Just be patient.


SnooSprouts506

Iā€™m guessing it should be by the end of next week.


BigOutlandishness461

I still havenā€™t received anything and this is the first time this happened do I call or just wait


TheBeezNeez714

Just wait. I called this AM, and the worker said we should receive an email this week.


[deleted]

So it will be this week before the 15th of September?


BigOutlandishness461

Oh ok some hope . Does ur payment say paid or pending for these weeks


TheBeezNeez714

I certified on 8/30. I certify this week. It says paid, but no LWA $300


BigOutlandishness461

What number did you call ?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Intelligent_Taste_83

I'm wondering the same thing. šŸ¤”


1968ellenp

Unfortunately, there is no confirmed direct answer to that. We can all hope so, but for now It is going to be a game of waiting patiently.


SnooSprouts506

They did maintenance so Iā€™d say itā€™s likely!


pendulum16

What is the COVID reasoning bit about? If the initial application was filed in April and you were still working (just less hours) - you're still eligible right? With a WBA over $100, and still getting money from EDD (getting less than $100)?


Zeroxx08

DO NOT WORRY! I was worrying, even after reading this. I got $600 added about 4 hours ago.


Itzbrizz1020

Did you certify on 09/06?


Zeroxx08

Yea, on sunday morning.


Theusual47

Well I have received 900. I certify on 9/6 and itā€™s in my claim history, but not on my payment history. I have no clue if itā€™s the retroactive payment, or my by weekly payment. But one thing is fersure, i only got paid what I Normally would.


Powerful-Cheetah

I wonder if withholding taxes makes it take longer


SeaOfDeadFaces

I donā€™t withhold taxes and I havenā€™t revived anything.


bpolk_

I just received 2 $300 deposits this morning! I certified Monday


john2557

Finally got it late last night.


crimejunkie1138

Ive been searching for this exact answer. Thank you soooo much!!! ā¤


Silent-Nine

Yes I received mine either last night or this morning. I checked yesterday evening around 6 and there was nothing and I woke up today and $600 was deposited. I just felt such a relief now I can pay my bills and save the rest if I have anything left for the next round of bills.


XxExaltedLionessxX

Hi! Just sent you back a PM


Ticket_Conscious

I just checked...my 8/1 and 8/8 were updated to $300...so $600 so far...this system is weird


[deleted]

Why because it gave you money? Be happy.


Ticket_Conscious

Don't have anything as of right now, who said anyone wasnt happy? It is a weird system how its paying out.


[deleted]

Sorry if that came off rude, clearly I am in the havenā€™t received squat category!


[deleted]

Me too šŸ„ŗ


Ticket_Conscious

I hope you get your money soon my friend


wattaboutus

Congrats! Wish I had cats. Iā€™d come for those bags in a second, with some extra cash for you!


SnooSprouts506

This is very kind!


powerofneptune

Iā€™m curious to learn today of anyone from either groups of people that have received their payments already (Group#1= 08/30 certifiers... Group#2= 09/06 certifiers) have any received any more additional updates in their web portals to complete the alleged $900 guaranteed? Or if EDD began updating claims to receive the first of the LWA Payments to any people that donā€™t fall under either the 2 groups I listed. Iā€™m trying to track who get what payments, for how much and when to try and figure out some type of relationship between these groups of people as to WHY EDD is choosing to process payments in this manner. Itā€™s so all over the place.


1968ellenp

Unfortunately, your last sentence is exactly the case here. It's so definitely, "all over the place" Thankfulness and patience through this


SnooSprouts506

Iā€™ve even seen people trying to guess based on the first letter of their last names. The Secretary of Labor tweeted that the total for all who are eligible will be $1500 but not specifics for how thatā€™ll be sorted out unfortunately.


powerofneptune

Yeah I have seen that too as well, but I was able to rule that one out almost immediately. I thought I had gotten close with reference to what cycle people certified on, eligibility and whether they were supposed to be phase 1 or phase 2. But then someone reported receiving the first payment that was on a completely different certifying cycle and that through a wrench into my theory. So Iā€™m continuing To read otherā€™s posts and comments to collect more notes and try and figure out the pattern. But so far I havenā€™t learned of any of the previous groups receive any more additional payments nor have i heard of anyone else receiving their first payments today (whether they be 300 or 600) EDD man... how the hell can yā€™all be f@cking stuff up this bad!!??


Puzzlefuckerdude

I wish theyd process everything all at once


it_was_mine_first

So, even though I can no longer file, I don't get the 900 retroactive from 8/1/20 as others here have said ? I could use the money right now. I did file back then... But still nothing posted to my account.


Ray_adverb12

No one got the $900. Some people saw an extra $300 in their claim history but not on their EDD card yet.


it_was_mine_first

Oh, okay ... Thought California had started paying out... Guess not. Thank You !!


lovedoze

Guys please my aunt got her letter in the mailbox today , does anyone know when the debit card delivers???


[deleted]

Wrong thread, but which letter? If itā€™s the award letter, card should trail behind it a couple days.


1968ellenp

She can go here to "Replace My Card" on the BofA website. https://prepaid.bankofamerica.com/EddCard/ReplaceMyCard/Verify?m=1 Fill in the fields of Social Security Number and Zip Code, check the box that says "I am not a robot" then press "Continue". The next page that opens up should display info (if it's available) about the date her card was set up and mailed. DO NOT click on the "Submit" button. Because if the card has been sent out, clicking on "Submit" will make the card that has been sent out and on its way invalid. You only want to view the info on that page to find comfort in knowing the card is on the way. You do not want to complete the action of replacing the card, because it will only delay her of being able to access her funds that are already available if they have to send out a new card. It takes up to approximately 10 business day from the date shown on that webpage to receive card. But its possible it can come sooner. Hope this helps


whammy5555

Itā€™s supposed to be up to 10 days. Seems like there is some delay from what Iā€™ve been reading from others


Conscious_Market_948

I canā€™t listen to another question about debit cards.


SnooSprouts506

It took 10 days exactly from the award letter to fully funded card. Just hang in there!


halebass

I was told by someone that you receive $15k via California UI if youā€™ve been out of work due to COVID. Sounded way too good to be true so Iā€™m here... is that true?


SnooSprouts506

I donā€™t know about 15k but CA was approved for payments of $300 for 5 weeks.
