Certify Line Certificate For Free

It takes at least three weeks to process a claim for unemployment benefits and issue payment to most eligible workers.

You can certify with UI OnlineSM or by mail using the paper Continued Claim Form (DE 4581) (PDF). When certifying for UI benefits, report your work and gross wages (wages earned before any deductions) during the actual week you worked and earned the wages, not when you received your pay.

This pending status occurs for many reasons, such as a claimant's answer to a biweekly certification question that triggered the need for an eligibility interview. We know many claimants who cleared fraud filters and verified identity have been waiting too long for payment, said EDD Director Rita Saenz.
