(California) Interesting issue. UI updated after exhaustion. Reverted with PEUC (extension, receive)

[c313]

Anyone have any experience with this?

So I applied for Unemployment and was approved back in March. My wages were incorrect and received 13 week and a lower WBA than I should have. Filled out paperwork etc and waited. Last certifying week my benefits exhausted, and my account was flagged for PEUC. I received a letter in the mail stating I was approved for PEUC with my original starting WBA and Balance.

Now 2 days after receiving that letter my benefits updated reflecting my correct wages. I was backpayed for all the certifying days as my WBA was increased. And my claim balance was updated for 26 weeks minus the 13 I was already used. Several days later received a letter in the mail stating my UI account has been updated with my correct wages etc.

Then yesterday my UI was updated again, this time reflecting PEUC. Wen't back to my starting WBA, and my original claim balance. My certifying year has (On-Extension) next to it.

So I can only assume that, because I was flagged for PEUC, it wen't ahead and automatically? Activated reflecting PEUC, even after my UI account was finally updated with my correct wages.

Obviously I need to call them. But just curious if anyone has seen this before or know if its possible to get my status reverted to my updated information, and still qualify for PEUC in the event I am still Unemployed? My biggest concern is that because my account now is in PEUC, if the remove it and update it back with my correct UI, I no longer qualify for PEUC.

It sounds like that's what happened is that they corrected it to regular UI and then maybe system update for PEUC overrode the update they did for your account for regular UI. Unbelievable one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing. At least they back paid you for the difference with the higher WBA before someone messed with you account again for PEUC. Once they get your account corrected "again" for 13 weeks of regular UI that you have left you would still be entitled to the PEUC 13 weeks after your regular UI benefits exhaust.

Im in a similar situation, I received my UI claim letter with a benefit amount for about 13 weeks with a regular UI back in May. Now my online status shows me eligible for PEUC. I have mailed 2 certified letters now asking them to correct the info on my claim, after correcting the info I should qualify for a Regular UI Claim instead of the PEUC. Im also worried that if I get paid from the PEUC bucket, that I wont qualify for PEUC again. Any updates on your end?
