Thats why its best to submit continued claim form on Sunday online at EDD website. Check should then be sent out by EDD in couple of days, ie Tuesday if you file it online on Sunday.
Here is EDD (California) timetable: Example of timetable of how I filed for unemployment EDD benefits online at EDD web-cert (EDD web cert) and received bi-weekly checks. Weekly benefit amount is $450.The Year is 2010:
Nov 8: Was notified by Company that Nov 19(Friday) would be last day of work
Nov 19(Friday): Filed at EDD site for benefits
Dec 4(Saturday) : Received first continued claim form by mail
Dec 5(Sunday): Filed continued claim form at EDD webcert for 2-weeks
Dec 7 evening(Tuesday): Saw at EDD webcert website, that check was issued Dec 7
Dec 10: Received first above check for $450 (seems that first week of benefits are not provided, its called “waiting period”). I thought I would have received benefits for two weeks, ie Nov 21-Dec4. In effect, I received benefits received only for one week, ie Nov 28-Dec4.
Dec 19(Sunday): Filed continued claim form at EDD webcert (EDD web-cert) for 2-weeks
Dec 21 evening(Tuesday): Saw at EDD webcert website, that check was issued Dec 21
Dec 24: Received first above check for $900. So in effect, I received benefits received for two weeks Dec 5-Dec18.
….
And so on.....
