If You Worked During One of the Weeks to Certify

Depending on when you filed your claim, the EDD may actually list that last week that you were still working as the first week that you can certify for benefits!

If you worked during one of the two certification weeks, you will need to declare that (remember that it doesn't matter when you are paid, it's when you performed the work that is important to the EDD). So when you get to the Certification Questions screen for the week you worked:
